Padre Wasson

Below is an announcement of Padre Wasson´s (the founder of NPH) death. The ranch is dedicating a lot of time, ceremonies, and misas/masses towards his rememberance. While it´s a sad occasion, it´s kind of cool to be on the ranch during this time, as it is a part of the ranch´s history.

Dear Current and Former NPH Volunteers,

As many of you may have already heard, our beloved Founder and Director, Father William Bryce Wasson of Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH; Our Little Brothers and Sisters) passed away this morning, ­­­­August 16, 2006.

You have been very kind in your loving service to Father Wasson’s family. I want to assure you that his work to care for these precious children will carry on. Please say a prayer for Father Wasson, the children, the volunteers and our staff.

Memorial Services will be held in the coming weeks in Arizona, Illinois, Mexico, Minnesota and Washington. Further information will be posted on our website: www.friendsoftheorphans.org and on the NPH website: www.nph.org as soon as details are arranged. Private internment will be in Yarnell, Arizona at a later date.
