HOW IT STARTED

In our day and age, vocational work is a calling – a call which has been

heeded with urgency and commitment by Mr. Augustus Justin.

It all started way back in the early 1970s with his regular visits and charitable

donations to the Malgretoute Home for the Aged in Soufriere.

By January of 1985, Mr. Justin found himself so immersed in work and caring for the

aged that he was moved to establish the Adelaide Home for the Aged at Sans Souci.

By 1989, the needs of many elderly and destitute persons in St. Lucia had increased

seven-fold – the need for food, shelter, clothing and care. Mr. Justin’s heart was

again touched and he realized that his mission had just begun. And like the

shepherd that provideth for his flock, he opened the Frances Memorial Home at the

corner of Water Works Road and Cedars.

Those achievements were for him, the fulfillment of a life-long dream. For he yearned

to do something which  would reflect the giving spirit which he acquired from his

deceased mother, Adelaide Edwin Justin. She was for him, and still is today the

embodiment of all that is good, wholesome, spiritually uplifting and fulfilling. And so,

Augustus Justin goes through “Great Pains” to try to explain that his call to service

has been a divine calling.
