We have just received three new boys into our Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage family: Armando, age 8, Carlos, age 7, and Christopher, age 6. They are already enrolled in elementary school and adjusting to orphanage life.

Glory be to God, our Home Building season has been a great success so far and we especially want to recognize Leadership 100. Through a generous grant, we have been able to award, on their behalf, 80 Home Building Scholarships to volunteers from more than 22 parishes across the United States and Canada who are joining us this summer. 

The CDC has issued a travel alert (Level 2-Practice Enhanced Precautions) for people traveling to regions and certain countries where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. Travel notices are designed to inform travelers and clinicians about current health issues related to specific destinations. 

Congratulations to our "little" Jose who just graduated high school! We are so proud of you and we look forward to your bright future. May God grant you many years Jose!

Last Friday, we had the very special honor and blessing of receiving a newly hand-painted icon for our St. Innocent Orphanage Chapel. The icon, a beautiful depiction of the Last Supper, was written and generously donated by our dear friend, Antonia Franck. 

#GivingTuesday inspires personal philanthropy and encourages global charitable giving during the holidays. Help us show that the world truly gives as good as it gets. 

A message from the Executive Director,

I pray that you are all well. I offer this message to explain a very specific challenge that has affected our ability to receive and process donations and it is important that I share it.

Be a part of this exciting and heart-warming experience by making this Christmas a love-filled and joyous one for the boys of St. Innocent Orphanage. There are several ways that you can participate in the Christmas fun.

After nearly a year of planning and preparation, we are proud to share our new Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage website. Our hope is to share the good work of our ministry with all of our friends and of course make many new friends along the way.

Our 2016 Home Building schedule is now available. It was recently included in our Fall Newsletter mailing as well as in our Annual Report which is on its way to you now. Registration for our 2016 Home Building season will open on October 15, 2016.
