History and Mission
The concept for Saint Anne’s Home was first envisioned in the early 1980s by Mother Mary Margaret of the Order of Saint Anne Chicago. After nearly four decades of planning and fundraising by the order, the home opened its doors in 2017. Its mission centers on providing women recovering from chemical dependency a wholesome and supportive environment, with the goal of empowering residents to live responsibly, independently, and substance-free.
