House of Hospitality, located in Laredo, TX, was founded by SND Sisters Joyce Bates (right) of Toledo, OH, and Roseanna Mellert (left), of Chardon, OH. The purpose is to provide lodging and transportation for sisters, associates, young adults, and others who want to volunteer with the respite center for migrants of the Catholic Charities of the Laredo Diocese.

First overnight guest at Casa was Sr. Mary Ann Weber who stayed for 3 weeks. During that time Dr. Harvey Popovich also stayed for five nights, (with special arrangements made for him). First SND associate, Gardenia Witherspoon, also stayed at Casa.
Sr. Jen Zimmerman and Sr. Ruth Lubbers came for a short visit to check out our house as well as the La Frontera Shelter with the idea of possibly bringing some young adults to serve.
