Cardinal Hayes Home For Children

Day hab - work activities training at cardinal hayes provides habilitation opportunities for individuals through work activities and social exposure in a variety of programs that promote greater independence. Through this program disabled young people can acquire work skills and appropriate social behaviors in the workplace. The goal is to place individuals in a "productive mode" according to their individual potential and strengths. Through participation in the watch program, a young adult who is disabled learns to function more independently and productively and develop a more positive self-esteem. The program also offers a work-study component for severely disabled students who will be aging-out of the educational system. Approximately 35 individuals were served in 2024.

All other service accomplishments - cardinal hayes home is sensitive to the special concerns and problems facing children with developmental disabilities. In the tradition of the franciscan missionaries of mary, serving those most in need, we share in a ministry of service to children and young adults with developmental disabilities. With profound belief in the sacredness and value of each life, our spirit of caring reflects compassion and reverence.
