Welcome to HHRMHospitality House Refugee Ministry is a non-profit organization, and has for many years been Winnipeg's leading sponsor of refugees.Thousands have been sponsored from appalling refugee circumstances, into new hope and productive lives in Canada.They continue to flood into our city, and while caring families look after many, others must look to the support of Hospitality House to survive their first year here.Several parishes and individual donors have generously supported the work over the years, but the needs continue to be great, because the refugees keep arriving.This is Hospitality House, the refugee reception centre provided by St. John's Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Rupert's Land, in Winnipeg. This is Micah House, home of the office of Hospitality House Refugee Ministry at 1039 Main Street in Winnipeg. Micah House is the Catholic Centre for Social Justice.

Six citizens, concerned about community re-entry needs of the recovering alcoholic, formed Alcohol Recovery Inc (A.R.I.) in 1977. Until that time, a program did not exist in the Winnipeg community tailored to meet the long-term implications of addiction recovery.Consequently, the Board of Directors of the newly formed A.R.I. designed a 'living program' for recovering alcoholics that would plug the holes in existing projects, and give suffering individuals a better chance of successful long-term recovery. Funding and support was sought from institutions and individuals to get the A.R.I. homes under way.Thanks to the diligence of the initial Board, the necessary financial resources were obtained and A.R.I. began operations in slightly over a year. In November 1978, A.R.I. officially opened a men's residence, and in May 1980, a women's residence was added.In the late 1990s, Ester House, a recovery home specifically for women but independent from A.R.I., was established in Winnipeg.
