Current Issues and What We’re Doing
REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT
Presently, we have 45 Ukrainian refugees living in 3 separate locations on the grounds of the Motherhouse.
1. Some remain on the 4th floor of the Academy until the new owner takes formal possession of the property.
2. The former "Girl's Hope Building" on Second Avenue - now affectionately called "JOSEPH'S INN".
3. The former "Bethel/House of Prayer" - now called "LITTLE KIEV".
Over the summer, we successfully launched over 6 families - who - have been with us for over a year. Four of our girls from Afghanistan moved to Queens where Sister Karen Cavanagh rolled out the red carpet and welcomed them to live with her in the Thomas Berry Place across the street from The Mary Louis Academy.
Most of the folks that we successfully launched have lived with us for over a year. During that time, they have learned the language, received vocational training, found employment and established credit! We ask for God's continued blessing upon them as they begin their new life in America!
