St. Peter-St. Joseph Children’s Home, affectionately referred to as St. PJ’s, is a social service agency operating under the Archdiocese of San Antonio, Inc. as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit. The mission of St. PJ’s is to be a safe and loving refuge for children in crisis and to accompany them on their journey to healing and wholeness, breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect one child at a time.
With over 130 years of caring for children, St. PJ’s has a unique understanding of providing a safe, nurturing environment for children in crisis and the value of keeping families together following trauma. The moment a child walks through our door, we engage in breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect. Our goal is to provide each child with specialized treatment to assist them through their journey of healing.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Adults who are new to the fostering process sometimes feel overwhelmed and wonder if they will have support on their journey. Your child-placing agency is the first resource. Social services caseworkers provide aspiring foster parents with various types of support and connections. These include free educational training programs, helplines, and support groups.
It is important that foster parents build their individual support network, too. Connecting with other foster families with more experience is an excellent place to begin. Texas groups offer foster parent meetups; you can search online for the closest one.
The Texas Foster Family Association provides state training, a regional directory of support services, a summer training conference, and more. Membership benefits include getting access to foster care professionals and learning more about ways to become better caregivers. Children of TFFA members can also get assistance through the Scholarship Fund.
Austin Angels is another support organization that strives to assist foster parents and Texas foster children. They offer care packages and gifts for foster children and their caregivers, mentorship options, and education, among other resources. Foster children and teens can learn valuable skills that help prepare them for independent living, as well.

When I was a child, and a young adult I saw a lot of children at P J CHILDREN'S HOME. I would go over there and play and talk to the children. I would see them walked down to the bus stop.
Now I don't see any children anymore. I have business near there and have to drive by weekly. PJ's is a children's home in name only.

Took over 10 bags of toys and holiday decorations for the kids to the Counseling Center as instructed. No one was at the desk when I arrived at about 1:30pm, guess they were busy having cake. The person who finally helped me would not help me with the bags nor could she find anyone to help me, Friday, I guess. Si she opened the back door for me to bring in the bags myself. I went to donate and left very disgruntled. Guess they are too good to help. Hopefully they treat the kids better.
