The Village at Incarnate Word, a not-for-profit corporation, was established by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word of San Antonio in 1988, providing a spiritually enriched retirement community for people of all faiths.
The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word answered the call to care for the people of San Antonio and we at The Village at Incarnate Word carry on their response. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, The Village is open to persons of any religion, race, or creed, offering a spiritually enriched home for all persons age 55 and older. The Village at Incarnate Word was founded upon the principle of recognizing the dignity of each person by serving and caring for them with compassion and respect. The Village at Incarnate Word maintains an independent Board of Trustees and is a separate corporation from the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word.
