Relief Society

The Relief Society is the women's organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. According to the official website, the Relief Society has a heritage of "...sisterhood, watch-care, charitable service, and spiritual instruction." The Relief Society began in Nauvoo on March 17, 1842 under the direction of Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith asked his wife, Emma to start an organization for the women of the Church which eventually became the Relief Society of today. According to the Church, the Relief Society is now established in more than 170 countries and the largest women's organization in the world. The motto of the Relief Society, which is found in Moroni 7 as well as 1 Corrinthians 13 is "Charity never faileth".
