15th Annual Fundraising Gala: . 2-6 p.m.

Join other Sisters Home Visitors of Mary supporters at the beautiful St John Armenian Conference Center, Southfield, MI on Sunday, October 13, 2019, for the 15th Annual SHVM fundraising gala.

This year joyfully honoring Fr. Donald Archambault, retiring Corpus Christi pastor, for his many years of dedication as pastor in the City.

Proceeds from the annual fundraising gala go to support the HVM missions in Nigeria. Early childhood formation and family live have always been an HVM focus. With your help we hope to build a permanent Home Visitors of Mary Day Care Center and move from the small space Sr. Vivienne has rented the past four years.

Sr. Vivienne’s day care in Apo, not far from Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Cathedral, provides a loving center for children six months to two years of age. It’s in an area where both parents must work for a living, struggling to exist. The HVM sisters support these families by providing a safe and loving environment for the children’s early years.
