Our Mission

MHI offers refuge and hope to the destitute by creating homes where people of different mental abilities, social backgrounds, religions and cultures can live together in community.  MHI provides a bridge back to the outside world and the confidence to cross it.

Our Vision

Magnificat Houses' vision is to build community from diversity, and to welcome the stranger - the stranger being one who is different from the other.  Community is our greatest strength, and through community we strive to reveal the special value that each person has to offer the others.  We are dedicated to the conviction that recover is possible in a community that offers hope, respect, opportunities, work, a good home, education and friendship.
