Visitation Community

Helping Families

Recognizing the challenges in her community, and committed to uplifting lives, Sister Flor Buruca, OP established Visitation Community (VC) in August 2020. A ministry of the Sisters of St. Dominic, VC provides Long Islanders with food, emergency supplies, rent assistance, clothing, PPE, and transportation to services, job opportunities, language literacy classes, and medical appointments.

A place of welcome and outreach, VC also offers short-term housing for women and children on Long Island.

Sister Flor travels to where she knows people are in need of food, clothing, and the many necessities of life. It is the people who are limited in transportation or funds to get to food pantries that she is able to reach with her heart and hands.
