SERVING CHILDREN SINCE 1887
Our history begins with an extraordinary woman,
Mary Virginia Merrick.
She gathered family and friends with an idea to serve one newborn in need. This idea became her lifelong mission to see the Christ Child in every child.
We are moved to action with her words,
"Nothing is ever too much to do for a child."
