In this house, our sisters receive children from very poor families. Most of them have had to be separated from their parents by civil authorities as a result of serious family problems. They have been entrusted to our care so that we can give them a safe, loving environment where they can grow up, and where, by the grace of God, their hurt souls may be “healed.” Many of these children have serious psychological problems which require constant medical attention.

Once the children reach adolescence, the girls move to the Servant of God Rosa Giovanetti Home, and the boys to the St. John Bosco Home (IVE). We give special attention to preserving and sustaining sibling relationships even when brothers and sisters may be living in different Homes.

This home was founded to receive adolescent girls who have been abandoned or separated from their families. Some of these girls are from the St. Gianna Beretta Molla Home. We work to offer them an integral human formation and spiritual formation, providing them the necessary means to become good Christian women. Those who go on to university studies or who begin working after high school are housed in an adjacent building, where they are able to transition into independent adult life.

In all of these Works of Mercy, we trust in Our Lord who loves in a special way all children and youth, espcially those who suffer. May He help us to make known His boundless love to all the souls entrusted to our care.

We find the Suffering Christ present in the sick. For this reason, our sisters work as nurses, caring for patients in a governement-run hospital. In addition to their medical work, the sisters offer spiritual accompaniment to the sick and their families, as well as to the medical staff of nurses and doctors.

Our sisters wear the white habit when they work as nurses; the rest of the time, they wear the typical gray and blue habit of our Institute.

At Divina Providencia women and girls of varying disabilities have a loving home. An important wing of the house is the “Home for Mothers.” In order to support mothers in crisis pregnancies, some years ago we opened a special wing dedicated to their care.  Several of the mothers are disabled or have serious psychiatric problems which also require them to have additional care in order to raise their children. In the majority of cases, they have been the victims of rape. The house is open not only to disabled mothers, but to all women and babies that need to be saved.
