Build Hope Through Legacy Giving
For Families without Homes and Children without Families
Leave a Legacy of Faith in Action
For over 35 years, Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage (PMSIO) have empowered more than 17,000 young Orthodox Christians from 42 states to put their faith into action—serving the world’s most vulnerable with love, humility, and purpose.
Each summer, more than 600 dedicated young adults travel to some of the poorest communities in the world to build homes for those with none. To date, these volunteers have built over 450 safe, secure homes—transforming lives, families, and futures.
But Project Mexico is more than a mission trip. It’s a place where hearts are formed, vocations are discovered, and the next generation of Orthodox leaders is cultivated.
As the only Orthodox Christian orphanage in all of North and South America, we have lovingly raised 85 adolescents and 29 infants in the Orthodox faith, nurturing not just their needs, but their souls. Our 15 long-term missionaries live and serve alongside these children—many discerning futures in full-time ministry as priests, youth directors, chaplains, and more.
Through our FOrCE (Forming Orthodox Christian Evangelists) initiative—established with support from Hellenic College Holy Cross and Leadership 100—PMSIO helps young adults build homes for families in need while exploring their calling in the life of the Church.
Affiliated with the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States since 1991, and in partnership with OCMC, PMSIO continues to be a pillar of Orthodox outreach, service, and formation in the Americas.
Now, we invite you to become part of this enduring legacy.
By including Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage in your will, trust, or estate plans, you ensure that future generations of Orthodox youth will continue to be shaped by service, strengthened by faith, and equipped to lead. Your legacy will build more than homes—it will enable Orthodox to live their faith.
