About St. Jude’s Ranch

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children has a 40 year history of healing and caring for abused, abandoned and neglected children. Founded in 1967 by Father Jack Adam, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children opened it’s doors to a single child in need of love and care. Since that first child, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children provided healing and nurturing for more than 1,000 children.

We rescue abused, abandoned and neglected children of all races and faiths from the vicious cycle of child abuse and provide healing and nurturing in a safe home-like environment where children can learn life skills to start new lives with new chances, new choices and new hope.

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children has three campuses in Nevada and Texas. Our National Offices and Boulder City, Nevada Campus are located in the foothills overlooking beautiful Lake Mead about 30 minutes from Las Vegas. The Bulverde, Texas campus is located in the Texas Hill Country just north of San Antonio. Also about 30 minutes north of San Antonio is St. Jude’s Emergency Children’s Shelter.
