Clearly there are many exceptional people working for this outfit, looking after children and giving them hope in the most challenging of situations, and in no way do I want to take away from that. I just want to supply some background information on the NPH organisation given the fact that Laura Silsby is associated with them and has visited on more than one occasion.

FATHER WILLIAM WASSON (founder of Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH), Spanish for Our Little Brothers and Sisters, which began in Mexico in 1983)
William B. Wasson, 82, a Catholic priest originally from Phoenix who spent more than 50 years caring for orphaned children in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, died Aug. 16 in Cottonwood, Ariz., of complications from a hip injury.

Father William Wasson already has 6000 sons and daughters and expect another 1000 soon
Since 1970, home for his “family” has been the Hacienda San Salvador, a 200-acre farm and campus 12 miles outside of Cuernavaca, 77 miles southwest of Mexico City. The hacienda (which survived the recent earthquake with little damage) is reminiscent of a south-of-the-border Boys Town, and though Wasson called his community Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos—”Our Little Brothers”—orphan girls have also been accepted since 1959.
He studied for the Roman Catholic priesthood at Conception Seminary College in Missouri. “I would have been ordained in 1948,” he says, but in his final year, his face, hands and feet swelled grotesquely. Wasson was treated at the Mayo Clinic for progressive thyroid deficiency. After his return to the seminary, he was shocked to learn that the bishop would not ordain him. “In those days,” Wasson explains, “they didn’t know whether the disease would recur, so if you had a goiter, you were considered finished. I was always very naive; still am, I guess. I’d thought there would be more understanding, more compassion.” He applied for ordination all over the U.S. but was refused every time.
In 1953, he was ordained in Mexico by Bishop Sergio Mendez Arcero

Bishop Sergio Mendez Arcero
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_M%C3%A9ndez_Arceo
It is believed that Sergio Méndez Arceo's actions and views made him too controversial, to the point that it limited his ability to form collegiality with other Mexican bishops and the episcopate. It is often charged that Méndez Arceo politicized his diocese and its communities, and in doing so was opposed to the government.
It later become known that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) produced a report on Méndez Arceo stating he was friendly to the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (Spanish: Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional) (FMLN) of El Salvador and the Sandinista National Liberation Front (Spanish: Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional)(FSLN) of Nicaragua, which took power in 1979 following the collapse of the Somoza regime. The FBI further alleged Méndez Arceo's diocese collected intelligence, bought and sold guns, and served as couriers for communist guerrillas of El Salvador. Méndez Arceo was further accused of being a contacted by the Soviet Union Committee for State Security (Russian: Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) (KGB) and Cuban General Intelligence Directorate (Spanish: Dirección General de Inteligencia) (DGI).[14]
In an article in the Catholic periodical The Athanasian, it is claimed that Arceo was in fact a crypto-Freemason; and that there were and are many more like him in the Vatican hierarchy.[15]

Really good stuff OP.
Do we have a connection between Father William Wasson and Mary Sue Conaway?
They were both in Mexico in the 90s.
