I worked at St Agathas 10 years ago now and was wondering if any of the staff from back then are still there. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and think back on it fondly.

A heart felt condolences to the family of Ray!!!

Ray was our welcoming party to the bronx when St. Agathea's opened up the group home in the Bronx. We played hooky in his Dad's house. I believe I got my first kiss there. Thanks Ray. Oh yeah, and ROSIE too! Nothing but great memories! I followed Ray's foot steps and ran the ball for the Dark Horse too. Not as well as Ray and Johnny. I was slow as molasses! But what Fun. Ray was super cool and always a good friend. Only wished I would have stayed in touch. I do have pictures I dug up  from 1974. Love Ya Ray thanks for being a friend. And I'll see ya when I get there!!!

I tried to remember some of my classmates but my memory fades me. I only remember 1 person Ismael Mercado. I remeber living in a building near the road, taking dancing lessons and getting yelled at for giving everyone gold stars in my class. If anybody remembers me let me know.   Nancy I tried to email you but your link does not work

 I am very saddened by the passing of Raymond Maldonado,

I met Raymond in 1964 in Savio, We shared the same dorm the same age he played football with me as a running back with Johnny Velez. We in Savio under Jim Bryant were a very tight knit group of kids. We did everything together. He was kind soft spoken and probably one of my closest friends. He was already in the home when I got there and made my transition into St Agathas smooth at a time when I felt a little afraid.I will always remember his cool ways he was a real people person. God bless him his family and all the kids whose lives he touched from Savio to 13 Hayden. I can say that I'm going to miss him but I've been missing him since 1970 when we said goodbye and parted ways. Please say a prayer for him and his family because he is a tremendous loss for us all. Thank you Raymond for all the good times,

Hello My Agatha Family/Familia, hoping this message finds you ALL in good spirits and health. Everytime I want to escape from this crazy but beautiful world we live in I come to our Agatha website and it puts me in a peaceful and happy frame of mind. I also joined Facebook because many of our Agatha sisters and brothers have re-united after many years of not hearing or seeing each other..it is a beautiful thing! So, if you are not a member of FB (free service) please consider doing so..there is so much to do and so many homekids you can hook up with. Ron and Maria have made this possible for all of us..they are AMAZING..thank you Ron and Maria! Be happy my sisters and brothers and enjoy your life. I am, going to visit our beloved Father Oliverio on Saturday and that makes me very happy. May God Bless you and your families. Happy Valentine's Day! Isabel :-)

TWO MORE OF OUR BROTHERS GO HOME

Rest in Eternal Peace, our Agatha brother RAYMOND MALDONADO (1956-2010) - Our heartfelt condolences to his wife LETTY; sisters FRANCES and ZONIA; children RAYMIEN & JESSICA; the MALDONADO FAMILY and all who knew and loved Raymond.  RAYMOND was in St. Agatha's from 1960-1970 in cottages Savio and Hayden Circle. His sister FRANCES writes: Raymond was very artistic and drew and painted very well. He loved to draw and make statues out of sand at the beach. He was athletic like most home kids and loved to laugh and dance. At St. Agatha's he was on Jim Bryant's drill team and on the football team. I remember my brother most for his sense of humor, his love of animals and for always calling me "mommy."

Hello My Agatha Sisters and Brothers,
don't know if you remember my brother EDDIE PEREZ (EDWIN). He was a Homekid from 1959 to 1964. He use to be in St. Joseph's and Seaton Hall. It saddens me to announce his passing on November 5th 2009. He was 59 yrs of age. May my beloved brother R.I.P (March 16, 1950 to November 5, 2009).
I LOVE YOU EDDIE - GOD BLESS EVERYONE!  ISABEL PEREZ=CRUZ

MAY OUR BELOVED BROTHERS REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.
