About St. Joseph's Foster Care Ministry

Foster care is not an isolated problem. The various systemic issues affecting children and families are interconnected (issues such as poverty, homelessness, addiction, incarceration, human trafficking, etc.). Thus, to create real, lasting change, we must address these issues from all sides. When we work together – each with our own unique focus, skills, and expertise – we can begin to build a better future for every family in our community.

St. Joseph Foster Care Ministry is devoted to creating a supportive, Christ-centered community for foster and adoptive families. Our mission is to raise awareness, support vulnerable children and families in our community, and serve alongside community partners already doing incredible work to support foster youth.

To learn more about the St. Joseph Ministry at St. Anthony of Padua, contact Michelle Lehn.  For information about other St. Joseph teams at local parishes, contact Julie Dumalet at the Office of Pro-Life Activities at 713.741.8728 or jdumalet@archgh.org

The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is proud to have as community partner the team at The Riverside Project, a Houston-based 501(c)(3) working to strengthen the support network surrounding families, children and young adults in the foster care system. 

The Riverside Project is a collaborative network of agencies, congregations, nonprofits, school districts, and passionate individuals working together to transform the foster care system in Houston.
