Elizabeth Caletka is the Development Manager at this location. NPH has a long relationship with many colleges throughout the USA who send student volunteers to the various orphanages. Recently students from Boston College High School helped out at an NPH home as reported in the Pilot newspaper, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston.
NPH is especially helped by students from many of America’s Catholic colleges including Notre Dame and St. Anselm’s just to name a couple. Many doctors and nurses volunteer their services also and perform many medical operations.
