Our Story

Providing a safe and loving place for women seeking freedom from addiction.

Sancta Maria House has been in the Kitsilano community since 1960 and been a long stay residential recovery home at 2056 West 7th Avenue location since 2004. 

The home offers a structured, supportive abstinence-free program for women in a loving family-like setting with a goal to provide women with support, direction and encouragement as they journey to freedom from addiction. 

We receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of private donors that have helped over 200 women of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and faith on their road to recovery. 

Our values are anchored by our religious belief to help those who are marginalized, often forgotten, and in need of support.

Our mission is that women who come to our home will hear Jesus’ message of love and experience His healing powers as they journey through recovery and healing.
