WHY St. Mary’s Home for Disabled Children has been caring for Virginia children for 65 years. Today, the private, nonprofit Home cares around-the-clock for as many as 92 children and young adults with severe disabilities. This event will be an opportunity for supporters and current and former staff and families to reunite and celebrate, as well as for members of the public to learn more about St. Mary’s Home, which has been providing an important community service since World War II.
