Heart of Mary Villa marked its 55th year of foundation last February 8, 2012 with a Eucharistic Celebration held at the Good Shepherd Chapel in Quezon City.
Present during the celebration were adopting parents, their children, former residents of HMV, Good Shepherd Sisters and mission partners.
Fr. Jose Mario Francisco SJ, who presided the Mass, lauded the efforts of the sisters in helping so many women who needed a place to stay and persons they can trust during their times of difficulties.
