Since 1854 the
Sisters of
the Humility of Mary have provided housing,
education and healthcare services for children, immigrants
and refugees and the elderly.
Humility of Mary Housing
Ministry serves as one of many expressions of the mission of
the Sisters “…of bringing abundant
life to God’s people, especially the poor.”
Each ministry under HMHI traces
their history and commonly held values back to the unified
mission of the Sisters of the Humility of Mary.

In 1987-88 the first housing
ministries emerged with H.M. Life Opportunity Services serving
homeless, single parent families in the Akron area and
Villa
Maria Residential Services serving seniors at the Sister's
Villa Maria Community Center, located between New Castle, Pennsylvania
and Youngstown, Ohio. By 1992, These ministries became the foundation upon which
the Humility of Mary Housing Ministry was established .
In 1997, Humility of Mary
Housing was
incorporated with a mission to reflect an outward thrust
…to empower, strengthen and increase the self-reliance of
individuals and families, especially through the provision
of quality, affordable housing and support services. |
