Purpose: The Hogar Rafael Ayau is an orphanage of approximately 60 children from infancy to 18+ years old. These children are abandoned, orphaned, mistreated, or abused. The children are provided everything they need, including food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and education. All children are baptized into the Orthodox faith and attend church regularly; they sing the liturgy and participate in the sacraments of the church.

Special documentary DVD: We have recently produced a documentary about the orphanage’s work, entitled With Love, the Children of the Hogar Rafael Ayau (Con cariño, los niños del Hogar Rafael Ayau). See 6-minute excerpt here. Proceeds from the sale of this video are donated to the orphanage. To purchase this DVD for $20.00, visit our Donate or Purchase page for secure electronic payment via PayPal.

Contact info: To learn more, please contact our Missions Coordinator for more information, or call the church office at 317-733-3033.
