St. Peter-St. Joseph Children's Home serves the needs of children and families by providing a safe, nurturing community to heal body, mind and spirit, shape successful adults, and break the cycle of abuse and neglect. Their motto is "Building a stronger community one family at a time." St. Peter-St. Joseph Children’s Home was originally founded as an orphanage by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in 1891. Today St. PJ’s is both a home to children who have suffered as victims of sexual and emotional abuse, neglect, poverty and broken homes and it is a community counseling and service center for families in crisis. Robert Estes heads the drive to help those innocent ones the Lord has asked us to watch over. They request that your prayers be with all the workers and children as the facility is full now with over 100 children.
