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.
