Coming soon!
We will be starting a program to get to know the children that will be staying at the Pauline and George Firenze Holy Family home soon! We hope to have a program to sponsor a child resident of the Holy Family home in the near future where you will be able to write to them and meet them with the Sisters that care for them there online through facetime, and be a part of the family of love and care for them as they grow with us in the Holy Family Home in the future. Check with us online at this site for updates going forward!
