Below is a note from Isabella Pucilowski, one of our young adults who participated in a volunteer team at Project Mexico this summer. We thank her and all the volunteers for their stewardship just over the border.
May our Lord continue to bless the ministry of Fr. Nicholas, the staff, and the children at Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage. And when the time comes, we also look forward to supporting Isabella when she returns to Mexico.

Fathers and friends, thank you so much for supporting me so that I could participate in Project Mexico’s homebuilding trip this summer! My experience there was so memorable that I plan to return long term. The Orphanage is growing, which is wonderful, and with growth comes need. They recently celebrated the grand opening of Casa Cuna, their infant orphanage (and the first Orthodox Infant Orphanage in North America!). This is wonderful news as it means they can welcome more children! This also means they must build more housing for the female staff.
Please see the email attached from Father Nicholas if you are interested in donating to their building fund for female staff housing! Thank you so much!

GRACIAS EN TODO
Project Mexico welcomed you along with over 250 guests to our 16-acre ranch in northern Baja on Friday, June 28th, to celebrate the grand opening of Casa Cuna San Felipe, the only Orthodox Christian Infant Orphanage in North America. This landmark event marked a significant milestone in our mission to provide a safe, nurturing environment for vulnerable infants.
The grand opening ceremony was a joyous occasion, blessed by nearly a dozen Orthodox priests from parishes around the world. Their presence and prayers underscored the deep spiritual commitment and global support for our mission.
Casa Cuna San Felipe stands as a testament to our dedication to the care and well-being of orphaned infants, providing them with a loving home grounded in Orthodox Christian values. This new facility will offer these children not only a place to live but also a foundation of faith, love, and security.
As our ministry continues to grow, so do our needs for additional housing. One of our most pressing needs is the construction of long-term housing for our female missionaries. The project will cost between $150,000 - $200,000. These dedicated women play a crucial role in the day-to-day care and upbringing of the children, and providing them with suitable housing is essential to the continued success of our mission.
We invite all our supporters and those who believe in our cause to contribute to our Nanny Housing Fund at the button below. Your generous contribution will help us build the necessary housing to support our missionaries and ensure the continued care of the children at Casa Cuna San Felipe.
In Christ,
Father Nicholas Andruchow
Executive Director and Priest
