St. Monica's Home
Located approximately one mile from Chapelton, Clarendon, this co-educational facility was opened in 1953 and caters to children between the ages of 4 and 18 years. Boys are relocated to another facility at age 13. The Home, which can accommodate 24 children, is sited on approximately 50 acres of land, much of which is occupied by small farmers. The children and staff are housed in a building that once served as the Rectory for St. Paul’s Church more than 100 years ago. Over the years, the structure has been expanded to accommodate the growing needs of the Home.

The Wortley Home
Founded in 1918 by the Rev. Canon Wortley, who was then Rector of St. Andrew Parish Church, and his wife Bertha, the Home for Girls is located at “Maurice Hill,” in Constant Spring, St. Andrew. Originally, it provided placements for orphans or children whose parents were indigent. Noted for its annual Carol-singing recitals at Christmas, the Wortley Home now accepts any needy girl, aged three to six years, regardless of socio-economic or religious background. It has accommodation for 25 residents.

Clifton Boys' Home
This Home with capacity for 30 boys aged 7 – 19 years old, is located in Darliston, Westmoreland, and has been in operation since 1960. It occupies some 7 ½ acres of good agricultural land, which facilitates an ongoing Agricultural/Livestock project undertaken by the residents. This self-help project is making a positive contribution to the nutritional well-being of the boys, as it supplies the Home with vegetables, ground provision and chicken meat.
