The Homes helter  Mons. Enrique Tomas Lozano, was founded by this notorious priest on September 2, 1945, in collaboration with the Institute of Sisters Mercedarias del Santisimo Sacramento, whom since the beginning, supported him in this masterpiece that was inspired by the Holy Spirit, in favor of the homeless childhood of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

At the beginning, the Homes helter was located at Juarez Ave. and Madero St. aside of the Colegio America, and received children from 3 to 8 years of age.  As the time passed by they accepted girls only.

In 1947 they were relocated at their actual site: Arteaga St. No. 1756. The Homes helter Mons. Enrique Tomas Lozano, still fulfills the objective of his founder. To be a space in which orphan and abandoned girls, whose mothers by diversified situations, can’t take care of them.

The Sisters Mercedarias del Santisimo Sacramento, whom are still in charge, with profound mercy and loving surrender; form to each one of the girls, seeing in each one of them to a Jesus needed of love, protection, and care.

The Homes helter, since its existence to the present time, it’s supported with the contributions of generous benefactors that share with the girls their material goods and their time. It also accounts with the help of people that with their professional knowledge support the formation of the children of the Homes helter Mons. Enrique Tomas Lozano.
