About this facility

Mission: St. Joseph’s Home for Boys was Michael Geilenfeld’s dream that became a reality in 1985, bringing boys off the streets of Port-au-Prince to provide them with a Christian home and family. Since that time it has grown from five boys in a very small rental house to approximately 20 boys in a wonderful home with guest facilities, a chapel, and an art center. Visitors become a part of the extended family when they stay at St. Joseph’s, enjoying presentations by the Resurrection Dance Theater or the St. Joseph Family acapella group, Resurrection Singers. There is an impressive collection of Haitian art to see, and visitors may join Michael and the boys in chapel, experiencing the unique joy of worshipping “St. Joseph’s style”.

The St. Joseph boys will be going to Trinitie today. This will ease some of the crowding at Wings.

Troy Livesay spoke with Renee Splichal and Jonathan Larson. The Embassy is being made aware. The whereabouts of Benjamin Larson are currently uncertain. They are from Iowa and were staying at St Josephs Boys Home at the top of Delmas near Three Angels Orphanage.
