St Christopher's Home in Young was a children's home operated on behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn by Anglican sisters. As well as caring for approximately 14 'motherless children', the home provided 'vocational training' in the church's work for six girls, which included teaching, nursing and 'works of mercy'. It is not known when this home closed but it was open in the 1930s.
