They Have Given Their Lives to Children. Now they need our care.
For decades, the Sisters have risen before dawn to serve children in need. They have taught in classrooms and dormitories, prepared thousands of meals, cared for the sick, and comforted frightened children far from home. They have offered each child the safety, education, faith, and love needed to build a better future.
They never asked for anything for themselves.
Today, some of these Sisters no longer have the strength to continue the demanding work that has defined their lives. Age, illness, and dementia have created a new and urgent need.
Now it is our turn to care for them.
A New Home for the Sisters
A former Sisters of Mary orphanage in Busan, South Korea, once provided a home for vulnerable children.
Now, this building will begin a new chapter of service.
The Sisters plan to renovate it into a safe, dignified, and faith-filled care home for elderly Sisters and other aging members of the community.
The renovated home will provide:
- Assisted living
- Professional caregiving
- Specialized dementia care
- Hospice services
- Accessible living spaces
- Medical equipment and essential safety systems
- A prayerful community where each resident receives loving care
Help build their new home!
