HistoryBishop Grady Villas began as an idea of Sr. Elizabeth Marie Stoup, a Sister of St. Joseph of St. Augustine and principal of Morning Star School in Orlando for children with disabilities. Sr. Elizabeth saw many of her students achieve amazing milestones at school only to graduate to a life of sitting at home without the opportunity to work or have a meaningful day. Sister began to dream of a residential community where her students could have the support they needed to live as independently as possible while also experiencing responsibility. To accomplish this, Sister gathered a group of dedicated volunteers together who were committed to making Sister's dream a reality. As the third Bishop of Orlando, Bishop Norbert Dorsey participated in discussions about the possibility of a residential community rooted in our Catholic faith for adults with disabilities, but the real moment of grace arrived after the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
