Snapshots of Betharramite life

Saint Michael goes back to school

Saint Michael goes back to school

Children of the Casa del Niño in Adrogué
have a new smiling companion:
St. Michael Garicoits, whose path to holiness
began from his earliest childhood,
on the ... small snowy mountains ... of Ibarre.

On the grey walls of Adrogué's crèche,
adults, children and friends had the wonderful idea
to welcome among them this "little personage"
who will soon tell them the story of a "hidden treasure".

More than 40 years ago, Betharramite religious, along with some families from the community of Adrogué (Argentina), decided to found the Casa del Niño to welcome during the day  children of the neighbourhood whose mothers worked in the 'tin factory, located in front of Villa Betharram. Since then, this factory has closed, and the life of the neighbourhood, the situation of families and the needs of children have changed.

But the Casa del Niño has, however, tried to continue to meet the needs of families, and receives about 70  children a year, who are offered basic education, breakfast, lunch and snack, medical, social and psychological (including support and advice to families), and especially a lot of love.

The Casa del Niño is a space suitable for the Encounter, between the needs of these children and all that they offer to us adults. They are deprived of many things, but they are overflowing with tenderness and joy.
