The Order of Clerics Regular, Ministers to the Sick, commonly known as the Camillians, counts on about 1,200 religious men and women in 41 countries.
Their charism revolves around caring for the sick. That’s why they’ve dedicated themselves to treating coronavirus patients. Especially in India.

“Our brothers and sisters in India, a country heavily affected by the pandemic and in a state of emergency, have all taken action. At first they volunteered to help bury the dead, which is an act of mercy especially important in our charism, which is all about caring for the sick. But burying the dead is also a way to uphold their dignity.”
For the Camillians, an act of charity can be as simple as holding a sick person’s hand or closing the eyes of the deceased.
