Our Mission And History

Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York, rooted in the Catholic tradition and guided by the lives of Saint Therese Liseux and Saint Peter Claver, transforms caring into action to deliver services, programs and direction to improve the lives of any and all children, families and adults in need.

In 1929, the parishioners of St. Peter Claver 's Church in Bedford Stuyvesant, concerned about neighborhood children, established a summer camp on the shores of the Long Island Sound. As the economic situation worsened, the summer camp evolved into a year round school. Over time municipalities were confronted with growing numbers of children who needed placement away from their homes. Little Flower responded to this need by developing a Residential Treatment Center.
