THANK YOU for Helping to Transform the Lives of 9,000 NPH Brothers & Sisters!
Dear St. Julia,
This Christmas season, 9,000 children and adults that receive services from Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) have YOU to thank and pray for! YOU have continuously provided them with essentials to live, and tools to survive.
I recently read a story about a young man who grew up at NPH Peru. At 7 months old, Adalberto was abandoned by his mother and his father wasn’t in the picture. In 2004, Adalberto was the first child to join the home at NPH Peru when it opened. At NPH, he thrived, living with other children, participating in different activities and attending school for the first time in his life When he graduated from high school, with the support of NPH, he began studying law while working part-time. He graduated in 2022 from the University of Lima with a law degree. Adalberto is now thriving on his own and is beyond thankful for all the support of NPH and his godparents over his 19 years involved with NPH.
The NPH children and staff wish you and your families a blessed Christmas and New Year. Thank you!
May God Bless You –

What is NPH?
Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) means “Our Little Brothers and Sisters” in Spanish. Founded in 1954 by Father William Wasson, NPH has transformed the lives of tens of thousands of the most vulnerable children and young adults, providing a nurturing family environment, education, health care, and vocational and life skills training. NPH USA helps children in Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru achieve their full potential, becoming productive, caring leaders in their communities and breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
NPH also fills a vital, lifesaving role with its operation of St. Damien Pediatric Hospital, the only hospital wholly dedicated to pediatric and high-risk maternity care in Haiti, and the only Haitian hospital equipped to provide pediatric oncology care.
We support NPH through fundraising and volunteer programs. In addition to our national office, we have three fundraising areas (South and West, Midwest, East Coast) and the St. Damien Pediatric Hospital Fund each working in tandem to build support for our mission.
St. Julia Parish’s Partnership with NPH/USA
The partnership between NPH and St. Julia established years ago provides opportunities to offer tangible ways to help break the cycle of poverty for thousands of children. The impact of this connection between the parish and NPH USA will be felt for generations.
As a Church Partner, the parish commits to promoting NPH USA’s mission and finding Godparents for children in need. If you wish to become a Sponsor, please view the updated Sponsorship Wall located by the stairs in the Parish Center Hall, to select a child in need!
Through this partnership, our parish will have an opportunity to put our faith in action. All members of our parish can be involved by responding to the call to care for our brothers and sisters in need, and to put our social justice mission into action.
