Twelve years ago today, in 2014, Hope Manor opened its doors, and I welcomed home our very first residents into sober living.
From the beginning, Hope Manor has been guided by a simple but demanding call, drawn from St. Francis of Assisi-
“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.”
That calling has never been abstract. It has meant real people, real struggles, daily commitment, and the quiet, persistent work of recovery. It has meant believing—again and again—that healing is possible, that lives can be rebuilt, and that no one is beyond coming home.
Today marks our 12-year anniversary. Because of the generosity, trust, and unwavering support of this community, I believe we have been faithful to that call. Many have found their way home here, and many more have walked alongside us to make that possible.
Thank you for twelve remarkable, challenging, and deeply meaningful years. And thank you for continuing the journey with us.
