Unfortunately, many women do not have family or community that can meet these needs. St. John Bosco House seeks to provide the opportunity for a safe and stable home life no matter what mistakes were made in the past.  Our house is a respectful home with aspirations, rules and expectations.  We recognize that all human beings stumble, and we will offer our hand to help young women back onto their feet as many times as they need.  We do not condone or enable behavior that is disrespectful or destructive. We continually offer the opportunity for change of heart. We continually hope for it, continually pray for it.
