As a facility affiliated to Emmanuel, Foyer Ste Thérèse was created in Nov. 98 as a small institution to take care of bed-ridden severely handicapped children whose adoptive families have tremendous difficulties in daily care. It was housed in an old building where Catholic sisters used to live, with several modifications in its bathroom, lift for wheelchairs, etc. Two dedicated ladies lived in, and professional caretakers and volunteers have been organized to run the facility . However, after 6th year of operation, it reached to a major transformation.

According to social security laws, at the age of 18 special kids can no longer be treated as 'children'. In order to provide smooth and continuous care, and to best utilize Emmanuel's know-how and experience, a project to build a center to house facilities for children and adults as well as Emmanuel's office was conceived. Tthanks to generous donations from many people, including senior citizens who have no heirs, the project to build the synthesized facility Cité Notre-Dame de la Vie was build toward the end of 2005. The Foyer Ste Thérèse moved in there and re-started at this new location with new caretakers.
