"The Church Home". The Church Home in Pittsburgh had existed since 1859, but it was "weak and struggling" without sufficient income. The Home was originally for old members of the Church, but it soon admitted young children also. Thus, when Kerfoot visited the Home two days after his consecration, he found it to be a "struggling" institution. He raised sufficient funds to provide religious services and classes for its residents. One of Kerfoot's last official acts was laying the cornerstone of an addition that contained a chapel, rooms for old women, and an infirmary.
