GUADALAJARA BOYSTOWN IN MEXICO
OUR PROGRAMS IN MEXICO
In 1998, six years after Father Al’s death, his successor Sister Michaela received an invitation from His Eminence Juan Cardinal Sandoval Iniguez, Archbishop of Guadalajara and Governor Alberto Cardenas Jimenez to start a Boystown in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Through their generosity, the Sisters started our Boystown program there on November 15, 1998. At this time, our Boystown can accommodate 2,000 young boys for their secondary school program with specialized training in vocational courses such as auto mechanics, accounting, culinary arts and more.
