A 100 bed After Care Centre, the Home for AIDS patients was opened in 1997. Currently, there are 87 adults and 13 children.

For the residents, St. Vincent’s Home is a happy home where they experience love and concern. No one is made to feel an outcast. The children play their games, sing and dance with real joy and delight. The men and women express their joy in living, thankful to God for every moment of their lives.

Expert medical care is provided by a dedicated team to alleviate the suffering and to sustain the health of the AIDS patients. All of them arrive at the Home in the deepest depths of depression. Within a few weeks, they experience a new life – an inner healing. Divine’s trained counsellors share God’s words of love, forgiveness and compassion with the residents. All are taught that they are children of God – and very much loved by Him. In the evenings, many of the residents do some gardening. All of them have a special devotion to Mother Mary and the Rosary.

The two Reverend Sisters and dedicated volunteers in charge of the Home spoke about the remarkable way the residents face life and death without fear – as God has said, “I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

"Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!" (Matt 5:5)
