Who We are
Little Flower Catholic Therapy Missions is a Catholic, non-profit [501(c)(3)] organization comprised of occupational, physical, and speech therapists as well as assistive technology professionals and those we train. We serve internationally, bringing therapeutic opportunities to people who lack resources. Our work flows from a place of prayer.
We are currently working with a Jamaica-based, Catholic religious order called Missionaries of the Poor. They provide many services to Kingston and the surrounding area. A main part of their mission is running residential houses that provide food, shelter and love for the poor and vulnerable populations such as people who have mental and physical disabilities. We are working with the brothers and sisters and paid caregivers on education and implementation of therapeutic principles with a goal of increasing quality of life for the residents and those who serve them.
