context_page_description: The Sisters of the Divine Compassion are a Roman Catholic religious institute founded in New York City in 1886 by Mother Mary Veronica, Msgr. Thomas Preston, and a group of young women moved by the "Compassion of God" in their lives and by a desire to bring that compassion to New York City’s destitute children in tangible ways.
context_section_description: The Sisters of the Divine Compassion today are a religious community of vowed members, lay associates, and partners committed "to proclaim and witness by our lives and service the Compassionate Presence of God in our world." The community adopted a modified habit in 1967, and lay dress in 1973. As of 2018 the Sisters of the Divine Compassion number about 73 women serving in various ministries. These include Preston High School; the Center of Compassion in Dover Plains, New York that includes a food pantry and thrift shop; Preston Center of Compassion in the Bronx, which offers a variety of educational, business and social services; and the Divine Compassion Spirituality Center. 
  The Sisters sold the sixteen-acre campus in White Plains. The property has been granted landmark status. The Sisters retained use of the Chapel of the Divine Compassion under a fifty year lease, as well as, St. Joseph’s House, a nearby historic Victorian building, for the congregation's administrative offices. St. Joseph's also houses the RDC Center for Counseling & Human Development.
