Each cottage or housing unit Is supervised by two STATEN ISLAND — Mount I sisters and counsellors. Loretto, one of the most beautiful 1 areas of Staten Island, harbors one of the largest and most ex traordinary homes for homeless | children in New York, the Mis- , sion of the Immaculate Virgin. , It provides care for approxi- mately 850 boys and girls, a cap-1 acity equal to most in the met- ropulitan area. It is extraord- , inary because its wards are “or-, phaas of the living,” that is, they are dependent children who come from broken homes or homes where illness or poverty have rendered their parents incapable of caring for them. There are two high schools on the grounds, although some of the older children attend high school in other parts of Staten Island when their grades permit. The schools at the mission pro­ vide them with a variety of learn­ ing activities, including beauty culture classes, speedwriting and typing courses and home econo­ mics, in addition to handicrafts and vocational classes to pro­ vide them with the skills neces­ sary to help them care for themselves after they leave the mission. ’ Monsignor Vier, who runs the Mission, feels the Job being done there is a much needed and re­ warding one. Anyone visiting at Mt. Loretto can see and feel the love these children have far this “foster father” of 850 boys and girls. For Newsboys First The home was started in 1871 by Father Drumgoole as a home for homeless newsboys. He took these boys off the streets, taught them to read and write and tried to educate them so that they could be something other than newsboys all of their lives. Father Drumgoole died some 20 years later of pneumonia and is burled on the boys grounds at the Mission at Mt Loretto. The school and Mission has grown steadily since then and has housed over 1000 children at one time. Staten Island neighbors have contributed time and funds for these children and have helped to provide many happy times for them. The Kiwanis Club has sponsored a Boy Scout group and the Ladies of Charity sponsor a monthly “Birthday Party” for the children. From Monsignor Vier, the staff and the children of the Mission. “A happy Christ­ mas to you all.” Because they have living par­ ents, these children are not adop­ table. They are first divided ac­ cording to sex. with boys and girls being sheltered in different areas of the mission; then they are sub-divided into two age groups, g to 13 and 13 to 18. Despite these divisions, however, an attempt ia made to house children of the same family to­ gether wherever possible. More than half (approximately 62 per cent) of the children are Negro and Puerto Rican; some­ times as many as five children from one family are housed at NAACP Fete Anniversary ENGLEWOOD, N.
