Currently (in the year 2020), we have 63 girls staying at St. Maria Goretti Hostel.

The non-profit charitable hostel which was initiated by the Catholic Diocese of Keningau, was completed in August 2000, was blessed by His Lordship Bishop Datuk Cornelius Piong on Jan 19, 2001, and officially opened on June 28, 2003. The FSIC has been entrusted to manage the hostel, especially to supervise the academic and spiritual formation of the boarders. Sr. Francisca Wong is currently the person-in-charge of the Hostel.

A year later, in 1993, the boy’s hostel (currently looked after by the Monfort Association), was also completed.

The Rumah Kanak-Kanak Bondulu was built in 1990 and started its operation towards the end of the same year. On 16th January 1994, the home was officially opened with the blessing of Rt. Rev.

The home which was built for the children of the poor and remotest families is financially supported by public donations both from the different associations as well as individuals, among them Tan Seri Dtk Penglima Pairin Kitingan and many more generous donors including anonymous donors.

These poor children are entrusted to FSIC sisters’ care by their parents, who cannot afford to send their children to school every day.

Initially the boarding house was an old wooden Convent which was turned into a hostel in 1974, for young girls from the outstations, to enable them to further their studies in the nearby Mission Schools. Presently (for the year 2020), there are seven students girls and three working girls staying in the hostel under the supervision of Sr. Bevelly Collin, a young FSIC sister.

In 1969, the doctor’s house who initially started the Mission dispensary in 1966, was converted into Don Bosco children’s home to provide some space for the growing number of orphans and needy children. The public has taken a keen interest in the children of Don Bosco. Since its establishment, various groups both governmental and nongovernmental, as well as individual donors have been showing their supports by providing necessities for the hostel and the boarders. The parishioners of Bundu Tuhan have also been generously supplying the home with vegetables and firewood. To date, many FSIC Sisters have come and gone monitory form and the home is well known to the public. Some people made the pledge to continue the donations.
