Sacred Space - We invite you to make a 'Sacred Space' in your day, and spend ten minutes, praying here and now, as you sit at your computer, with the help of on-screen guidance and scripture chosen specially every day. This is a service of the Jesuits in Ireland.
Liturgical Year - A good resource for the liturgical year and for lives of the saints who appear on the Church's calendar.
Augustine Day by Day - Brief extracts from the writings of St Augustine for each day.
Holy Family Home is a cross between a boarding school and a refuge. It is a safe haven of brightly colored walls, plants and peacefulness on the outskirts of Bacolod, a city on the sugar-rich island of Negros in the Philippines. The 40 or so girls who live there and the 15 or so college students who live in a house near the city center are from poor families who cannot afford to educate their daughters or from families in which the girls could be at risk if they were living at home.

Dear Fr. Sean,
What a beautiful and inspiring video! This is my first time to read see this while I was searching for a picture about our girls in Cabug. I was amazed! I thank you and Fr. Gary for such a great effort. Thank you so much for your assistance to the sisters, the girls and the foundation as a whole. May the Lord, in His graciousness, enable you to experience His abundant blessings. God bless you Father and more strenght and inspiration in your ministry.

Hi Father Sean
The website is looking better and better. I just needed to point out though that the first sentence describing this video has a typographical error. I think you meant to place "Holy Family Home is a cross between a boarding school and a refuge," and not across.
Old habits die hard. God bless everyone at Misyon!

Holy Family Home is a home where God's love can be felt. It is where God's children are being cared for and are given hope. We are restored and inspired, educated and nourished. We find a family and from the sisters, we learned good values and many things about life. Truly, Holy Family Home is our safe haven. It is our HOME here on Earth. God really love His children. He never leave us alone. He provides for us. He sent good people to help us...May God continue to touch many people that they will take part in saving many generations.As our motto puts it, "A Child Redeemed is a Generation Saved..."
Thank you very much Father Gary Walker for visiting us and for making us realize again how blessed we are...Thank you very much Father Sean for supporting us always and for being our Father. Thank you very much Capuchin Tertiary Sisters of the Holy Family Home for your patience, love and understanding...
