Welcome to St. Gerard House

Join St. Gerard House for our 15th Annual First Words of Hope Luncheon on April 02, 2025.

First Words of Hope is our annual fundraising luncheon that serves as the largest source of unrestricted funds. Its title, First Words of Hope, represents many things. It refers to our firm commitment to lift each individual we serve to reach their highest potential, and pays homage to one of the greatest blessings we receive through our work: the opportunity to witness a child communicate successfully for the first time.
