Saint's Place (St. Louis Church) assists legal refugees starting their first home in Rochester. The people we assist are starting from scratch. They arrive with only a few personal belongings. Saint’s Place also has a large Educational Initiative that awards scholarships, computers, payment for vocational training, tool grants and other ways to advance a person’s education. We feel obtaining a higher education is important in helping a family rise out of poverty.
