Testimonials

“I am really glad there are ministries like these to help families out. My family is being reunited with the help of this place and staff. These people are very resourceful.”

“I would like to thank you for this wonderful opportunity. A year ago, I started with a baby and a backpack. Now I have started the process of closing my files with Catholic Social Services and Child Welfare. Living in this complex has helped me become the person and mother I have always wanted to be. If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have been able to create a safe, warm, and loving environment for my daughter and I.”

“I believe this building helps people in need get back on their feet and help to start working on their goals."
