All Saints House, an independent-living housing ministry that
supports elderly and disabled persons, was founded in the mid-1980’s by All
Saints Church and the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi in conjunction with the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Located on Historic Main Street across the street for All
Saints Church in Grenada, All Saints House is comprised of forty-four (44)
residential apartments, four (4) of which are accessible to those who are
physically disabled, and a bright sunroom for residents to enjoy fellowship and
community activities. All residents of All Saints House have to meet HUD
requirements in order to ensure that our program is serving those in the
greatest need. (Note: Anyone interested in seeking residence must make an
application through the office at All Saints House.)
To enhance the lives of the residents, parishioners of All
Saints Church reach out by hosting Bingo and fellowship on the Second Tuesday of
each month, hosting monthly Friday night Cookouts during the warmer months, as
well as inviting residents to come to celebrations at All Saints, such as our
Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and a Thanksgiving Feast especially for the
residents. In addition, the children of Little Saints Preschool make seasonal
trips across the street to All Saints House to share their angelic and spirited
spirits in song, dance, crafty projects and games.
The management and day-to-day operations of the property are
the responsibility of the All Saints House Board, formally the Episcopal Housing
and Development Corporation of Grenada, along with a property management company
hired by the board. Our current Board members:
Mike Nabors, President
Candy Garrett
Olivia Hartanovich, Secretary
