Here at Esther Residence

Women are welcomed, and assisted in adjusting to live “outside”, supported in their goal of staying sober, guided in learning new skills and invited to new recreational activities. They cook, clean, relax, have fun, get a job, learn how to budget, pay rent and plan for their next step. Daily reflection time provides additional support and encouragement. Religious and lay women contribute of their time as staff or volunteers and many friends and parishioners join our community effort and help to finance and support this needed and welcomed ministry.

To find out how to contribute to the Esther Residence, contact the Sisters at joanne_roy@aol.com  or (207)-283-0323
