About Casa Hogar
The Home for Boys sits on 18 acres with a gated entrance. It is equipped with basketball court, swimming pool and chapel. Fruit and vegetables are grown behind the main building.The land itself was donated by Doña Soledad Orozco de Avila Camacho, the wife of a former President of Mexico. In 1993, Padre Angel realized his dream of establishing a home exclusively for girls. The Padre Angel Home for Girls is operated by the Sisters of Charity and is located in Caleta. The dual homes help to preserve family ties by allowing brothers and sisters to remain close to one another.
The Padre Angel Home for Boys operates with just two paid employees. The day-to-day work is done by the boys themselves, each of whom has assigned chores. The teaching of self-reliance and self-sufficiency has been a common theme in all of Padre Angel's youth programs. The children are taught personal hygiene, good manners and religious beliefs as well as self-sufficiency. Many of his former residents have gone on to successful careers. Rene Juarez Cisneros, the just retired Governor of the State of Guerrero, was himself at one time in the charge of Padre Angel. The Boys and Girls Homes are administered jointly – under the formal name of Granja Hogar Para el Niño La Providencia A.C.
