Mission Statement

Andre House provides a ministry of hospitality, blending the Catholic Worker and Holy Cross traditions and dedicating ourselves to serving the poor. We live in community and work with those in need. We pursue a lifestyle that reflects the presence of God.

Description

The Andre House offers hospitality and shelter for men who are seeking to change their lives. We provide shelter to six men who have been homeless and jobless because of addictions and who have completed a program of rehabilitation. Our guests stay for a period of up to six months. There is an emphasis on community, encouraging our guests to be support to one another in recovery and to build a trusting and safe environment where fellowship is shared. Our guests are required to have a job or must seek employment during their stay. There is no fee for room and board; the guests are expected to save half of their income. Andre House offers other ministries of outreach into the community, providing for the needs of the poor and homeless with food, clothing, furniture, and support.
