We are excited to become part of the growing online community and we hope to have this website serve as an additional information channel for all our fellow St. Lucians living in the state of New York , all over the US, Canada, the UK and the Caribbean.

The St. Lucian United Association received a request for assistance from the management of Holy Family Children Home on or about June 2006.

The Home, located in Ciceron, St. Lucia is actually run by the Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church, administered for approximately 22 children (boys and girls) ages 5 months to 12 years.

As an organization, the executive committee decided to assume an adoption pattern in order to satisfy the request. The idea was to have each member select a child by name from a list sent by the Home and each participating member would be required to furnish a gift for their 'adopted (or selected) child' for Christmas. In all probability, a start of godparent/godchild overseas relationship. The idea among the members seemed so benevolent, that they embraced the idea with the hope to continue this affiliation for as long as necessary.

On November 27, 2006, the Association, on behalf of the executive members and friends, shipped a cartoon consisting of gifts to the Home for each child as adopted. Each gift was personalized; meaning that the gifts were addressed by name from the member/friend to the respective child. The gifts arrived just in time for the Christmas festivities.

The members of the Association believes that the first stage of this charitable mission was a success and they are inspired by future endeavors.

If you have a project that has a specific date and timeline, and would like to highlight the program details on the front page of this website, please indicate this when filling out your organization online form.

Thank you!
