Exciting news from Abode for Children!

Our founder, Tom Rutkoski, was inspired to start Abode for Children after witnessing countless children around the world with no one to care for them. He was deeply committed to Catholic works of charity and the teachings of our Lord, who commanded us to care for widows and orphans.

James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”

Visit their page to learn more about Tom's legacy and help us continue to bring hope to children in dire circumstances. 🙏❤️

We are excited to announce Abode for Children's new logo!

Our new logo reflects our Catholic identity and the love, care, and faith-based education at the core of our mission. Inspired by an image of St. Anne teaching Mary, the logo symbolizes nurturing and guidance.

This redesign will strengthen our presence in print and online, supporting Abode for Children's growth and outreach while highlighting our commitment to Catholic Christian values.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and faithful support. Look for our new logo as we introduce it over the coming weeks. 🙏❤️
