Vincentian Academy

What Vincentian Academy does

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth is an international Catholic religious congregation founded in 1812 and headquartered in Nazareth, Kentucky (also known as the Nazareth Literary and Benevolent Institution, EIN 61-0444781). It operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the Vincentian tradition, affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, the Vincentian Family, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), and the Charity Federation. Across ministries in six countries — the United States, India, Belize, Nepal, Botswana, and Kenya — the congregation runs a portfolio of schools (Nazareth Academy in Mokama, Navjyoti School in Surkhet, St. Francis of Assisi Academy in Marereni), healthcare facilities (Nazareth Hospital Mokama, a 78-year-old institution; Flaget Memorial Hospital where the Sisters have served for 75 years; Kurji Holy Family Hospital), and social service programs. The most recent country expansion was Kenya in 2021.

The congregation's revenue is donation-based, supported by charitable contributions, fundraising events (Super Raffle campaigns), and the Pelican Society monthly giving program. A secondary revenue stream comes from the SCN Lay Mission Volunteer Program, which charges participants $700–$1,850 per immersion trip for cross-cultural service experiences in Belize and Philadelphia, with home build sponsorships starting at $5,500 per 16x20 home in partnership with San Miguel Arcangel Mission and Hand in Hand Ministries. Programs serve diverse beneficiary populations including children (Summer Bond Camp serving 100 children ages 7–11), students (STEM programs engaging 50+ third and fourth graders), patients at affiliated hospitals, seniors (LIFE senior programs), and economically marginalized families. Recent operational milestones include the appointment of Kaylee Morris as Director of the SCN Associate Relationship (July 2026), the 78th Foundation Day of Nazareth Hospital Mokama, and active recruitment for the November 2026 Belize Home Build Immersion trip.

The organization is explicitly not technology-focused and has no AI/ML, software products, APIs, or proprietary technology platforms. Its core assets are its 210-plus-year institutional history, its multi-country operational footprint, its membership of religious Sisters, and its ecosystem of Associates, Lay Mission Volunteers, donors, and alumni. The firmographic label of "Vincentian Academy" in the input data appears to refer to the Pittsburgh-area Vincentian Home referenced in a Sister's obituary; the actual legal entity in all substantive data is Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
