Who we are!

  • An organization of Catholic Women dedicated to the Christian principles of charity and Love.
  •  YLI was founded in San Francisco on September 5, 1887, by three young women inspired to help an ill friend.
  • YLI has approximately 8500 members in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii.
  •  Our history reflects a sisterly care and concern for each other and for those in need. 
  • Our purpose is to help others in our organization, our church and our community.
  • We are an organization for all seasons of our lives.  Some joined just out of high school, some were “Social Security age” and many in between; but we know that when there is a need –  
    YLI Sisters will be there.
