humanity under one mantle. We come together as one with the
Church to fight poverty, improve education and assist as needed in the
communities we serve. Through perseverance in prayer to Our Lady, we support
and promote the opus of membership through recruitment, resources, network

Typically there are between 30-40 children living at Casa Hogar |
Our intention
with Casa Hogar is to provide for some much needed structural repairs to the
aging facility. Likewise we know that
our efforts to assist and interact with the children and staff will provide
hope where there sometimes is only despair in the life of those that each day
live without knowing the closeness of family relationships.

Ruben and Olivia are the parents of Elizama (17), Jabob (15), Rebeca
(9) and Neftali (7). They live in
Córdoba Veracruz, México. Ruben works on
a ranch in a remote location and is away from home the majority of time. Olivia works 6 days a week as a caretaker/housekeeper.
Elizama suffers from physical disabilities and requires around the
clock care. She is unable to walk or sit
up on her own. Olivia wakes each morning around 5:00 am, prepares her home and
family for the day. Then at 6:45 am she walks to her job. Jacob the oldest boy leaves shortly thereafter to attend
school. Rebeca and Neftali remain at
home with Elizama and provide for her care until Olivia returns home at the close
of the day.
This scenario is very common for many families in México. The working poor who do not have access to
social assistance programs or formal education.

community of three Sisters opened the
Nursing Home in the City of Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico. At the beginning of the
Foundation, the Community was also appointed to ensure the organization and
administration of the House of Evangelism and Church by way of weekend group meetings
and retreats.
At present, the
Community, formed by the three Sisters, is responsible for the management of
the residence "Emmaus" as
well as nursing, essential provisions, kitchen and laundry. The Center, which
is owned by the Congregation, also has 19 lay workers and serves fifty elderly
residents. They organized the Health Pastoral Centre with the joint participation
with the whole community including 9 laymen. The Sisters provides staff training and visits
with the elderly. Other pastoral activities include compliment ing the FSA and
vocational instruction to youth. Outside of the center, they work with the
Diocese of Córdoba with the Pre-Vocational Life.
