 The Home for Destitute Catholic children, Harrison avenue, Boston, is engaged in the charitable work of find ing homes for some of the poor children now in the Home, who have neither pa- rents, relatives nor friends to care for them. The home is a charitable insti- tuition, sustained entirely by charity and it's special work is the care and protec- tion of destitute children who would otherwise become public charges in the city, town or state pauper institutions. No child is received into it for the pay ment of board money; it's care and shel- ter are exclusively for destitute chil- dren, whom 1t seeks to rescue from suf- fering and from pauperizing influences, by caring for them until good homes are found in families where they will grow up under home influences and be- comes respectable men and women.
