Catherine Center Re-Entry House

St. Vincent De Paul's Catherine Center is a residential safe home for women recently released from incarceration. Women receive support for their practical needs and emotional and spiritual growth. SVdP walks with those who have caused harm to help them acknowledge the impact of what they have done and to assist reconciliation.

During 12 months of residency at SVdP’s Catherine Center’s Primary Program, women recently released from jail or prison work intensely to understand the root causes of their incarceration, develop new coping skills, and reconnect with family. The women participate in emotional counseling, substance abuse rehabilitation, as well as vocational, educational and spiritual programs. SVdP’s Catherine Center’s unique holistic approach, along with unconditional love, allows these courageous women to transform their lives.

SVdP’s Catherine Center’s Post Graduate Program supports our growing alumnae population in their transition back into society. The Restorative Justice Ministry site is a safe house.
