In 1980, a friend asked Kathleen Kelly, who had herself immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1958, to help the needy war-torn children in Northern Ireland. She was directed to Project Children, based in New York City. The program brings children from the most desperate sections of Northern Ireland to Central New York for four weeks each summer. Kathleen believes this to be her mission, and the Syracuse Chapter of Project Children was born. Each year, the Franciscan Sisters host a picnic for the children—which is the perfect melding of Kathleen's two favorite groups—senior citizens and children! |

Although there is a "declared peace" there are still many, many problems unresolved between the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. The need for Project Children remains strong. Some of the original "Project Children" are now sending their children to the United States with Project Children with the hope that someday there will be true harmony among the people of Northern Ireland.

Kathleen Kelly estimates that over 6,500 children have come to Syracuse and she has an ever-increasing desire to expand that number. |
