A safe home to recover

This is a residential long-stay home for women from all faith backgrounds including those with no faith background. Women choosing to make at least a six-month commitment are offered a safe loving home where they experience unconditional love in a true family environment where they are loved and accepted. They receive inspirational resources, pastoral guidance, counselling, the 12 Step A/A Program, receive one on one support, and take part in recreational activities and social events.

We provide a structured, and supportive program in a loving family environment for up to 5 women at a time who are often on a limited income. Since opening over 20 years ago, 200+ women have gone through our program.

“If you feel lost, lonely and not loved or have hit your last bottom then Sancta Maria House is the place to be.”- Natasha
