The Little Sisters of the Poor arrived in Evansville in 1882. They came with nothing except a love for God and a willingness to serve him through the aged poor. St. John’s Home for the aged has welcomed well over 5,000 aged poor who had no where to turn as they entered one of the most challenging times of life—old age!

After 130 years of service to the elderly in Evansville, the Little Sisters of the Poor are deeply saddened to announce that, due to a lack of vocations and an aging community, we are obliged to withdraw from St. John’s Home.
