St Aloysius Orphans Home Born 1852 in Quincy
Among Quincy’s noted charities the St Aloysius Orphan Society began January 11 1852 with a chartered constitution. The home opened 1861 on Oak Elm and 18th 20th streets, housing 37 children by 1866 and 245 girls in later years, staffed by Notre Dame Sisters and supported by picnics concerts and gifts. Funds built assets to about 400 members by 1915 and a current value of $25,000 with plans to expand or relocate near St Francis Solanus College.
