Aloysius Schwartz, pray daily for the intentions of our supporters and benefactors. Your Prayer Request will be shared with the Sisters and the children in our Children’s Villages around the world, so they may lift your needs to God.

Fr. Al believed that every act of love and sacrifice must be rooted in prayer. As he also reminded us, “The poor pray with their hearts. We must learn to do the same.”

Please complete the form and let the Sisters and children hold your intentions in their hearts and daily prayers.

Sisters and Girls praying

“Prayer is an expression of faith. Also, it is the purest expression of love. It is an expression of love in its most sublime form. It is an expression of spiritual love. We are not serving the poor as we are called to if we neglect our prayer.~ Fr. Aloysius Schwartz
