Hope House was founded in 1969 by two Roman Catholic nuns who moved into the St. Thomas Housing Development which was within our parish boundaries. It is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization and depends on donations and grants and welcomes all contributions in their efforts to feed, house, clothe, and educate God’s people.
