  • Little Sisters Of The Poor Description

    St. Mary’s Home, located at 2325 N. Lakewood Avenue, is in the heart of the vibrant Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago and stands on the property of the former Alexian Brothers Hospital. It is one of two homes the Little Sisters of the Poor currently operate in the greater Chicagoland area, along with St. Joseph’s Home in Palatine, IL. On July 15th, 2017, the Little Sisters of the Poor celebrated 141 years of service to Chicago’s aged. Abraham Lincoln is said to have invited the Little Sisters to the United States for fear that the Civil War would leave many elderly people without family, and indeed, several homes were founded on the East Coast in the 1860s. In 1872, Holy Name and six other Catholic churches were destroyed by the Great Chicago Fire. Bishop Foley, the administrator of the Chicago diocese, dedicated himself to rebuilding these churches as well as the hospitals and orphanages that the fire had taken from the city. In 1874 he sent a written invitation to the Mother General of the Little Sisters of the Poor in France. Following his outreach work, the first Little Sisters home was established in Chicago.
