St. Margaret's House has a rich history of service, originally opening as a rest home for convalescent women in need of care and spiritual guidance. Our beautiful grounds, adorned with flowers and gardens, have always been a beacon of calm and reflection. In our 37 years, we've provided temporary emergency shelter to over 12,000 women and children, and our commitment to serving the community remains unwavering.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations to St. Margaret's are tax-deductible and directly support our services, including the Emmaus House, Utica's only emergency shelter for women and children.

Consider a visit to St. Margaret’s House, whether for a day, a short retreat, or an extended stay. Experience the unparalleled calmness and spiritual enrichment that our center offers. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
