  • Sister Monica Asman established the original cottage in Fair Oaks in 1986 to provide food and clothing to families in need.

  • Mary Lou Putnam and the Putnam family. Mary Lou founded the Auxiliary in 1994, greatly enhancing the Center’s capacity to serve the community. For the past three decades, the Putnam family has continued this tradition.
  • Sister Christina Heltsley was the extraordinary leader who transformed the Center into a major community force with new housing, Siena Youth Center, Holy Family School, and much more.
