So come to me, my little one--
My years with thee I share,
And mingle with a Sister's love
A mother's tender care.

---George Greenleaf Whittier.

"And so this is an orphanage - these happy, smiling little ones are the wards of a charity institution - but an orphanage where Christ is recognized and where his entreaty to "suffer little children to come unto Me" holds first place in the hearts of these foster mothers. May the principles of St. Joseph's Villa spread far and wide and the story of these fortunate waifs inspire like homes in every land." Richmond
