As many of you already know, we are forced to leave the house that has been our home for 39 years. We have been asking for it for many years and we had agreed to leave it on September 1st of this year. When the world was affected by the pandemic, we requested an extension since we could not leave to look for another house. We were allowed to stay until May 2021, but given the economic situation and the fact that very few young women would come to the residence, it was decided after some reflection and dialogue, to hand it over before that date. We are already in the process of packing up and many young women who have passed through this house write to us and we want to share with you these beautiful experiences…
Centro Maria is THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE in New York City, being NYC one of the most expensive cities in the United States, this residence is the best located, the sisters treat you excellent, they help you, they cook and they take care of the girls. Astrid M.
It makes me super sad to hear this but I am sure you are going to find a place to create a home/home for young people again because it is not the place that made the experience special but the nuns that were there. I wish you all the best of luck and I am sure we will meet again. Anna N.
How much this hurts me. I hope they can all find a safe and welcomingo home like Centro Maria. Thank you very much for absolutely everything. Honestly Centro Maria has become my home, I felt loved, safe, and most of all, I felt welcomed. May God always be with each of you in this new chapter. Genesis
Forever grateful to my second family forever. Centro Maria was a mother to me and my home away from home. Forever my home away from home.Dulce
