In a gesture of support for the marginalized, on July 5, Archbishop Peter Bryan Wells, Apostolic Nuncio to Thailand, along with staff from the Apostolic Nunciature, visited the St. Martin Foundation Home for Hope in Nonthaburi, northern Thailand. Nonthaburi is located about 16 kilometers north of Bangkok, the country’s capital.
The Nuncio and his team spent time interacting with the children and served them lunch, making it a joyful and memorable day for the orphaned residents.
Founded in 1999 by members of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (PIME), St. Martin Foundation Home for Hope is a nonprofit organization that has been caring for orphans from surrounding communities for the past 26 years.
The Home has become a nurturing environment where children can grow with love, dignity, and care.
Currently, around 100 orphans, aged 3 to 15, live in five separate houses on the same campus.
The Home operates entirely on donations from individuals and businesses, which cover the children’s tuition fees, educational supplies, food, and other daily needs.
This remarkable charitable mission, led by PIME missionaries for decades, continues to uplift vulnerable children and their families, transforming countless lives in the process.
PIME members dedicate their lives to Catholic missionary work in foreign lands.
Their mission includes proclaiming the Gospel, building Catholic communities, and providing humanitarian assistance in marginalized areas around the world.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
