About us
Cruz Blanca is a non-profit organization and religious association founded in 1958 by Bishop Ricardo Durand, SJ. With the purpose of "working for the integral formation of children lacking economic resources, in their religious-moral, patriotic, cultural and human aspects, seeking, above all, their attention in the times and circumstances in which they are neither in their family nor in school; attending to the child mainly during school vacations".
