Amigos de Jesús is a love story with many different parts.

It started with a vision birthed from the heart of Sister Teresita, a Honduran nun working in the poorest communities seeing countless children on the street. Christine and Anthony Granese, a North American lay couple newly married at the time and Father Dennis O’Donnell, an Archdiocesan priest from Philadelphia, PA teamed up to make this vision a reality. Amigos de Jesús is a movement of the unique spirituality of Jesus in service to the children we serve, each other and the world. A 25-foot cross sits at the top of the hill near the home, visible for miles, symbolizing the motto of Amigos de Jesús: Follow the Cross and you will find Hope.
