A Letter from our President
Many of us at St. Mary feel our work is a calling from God. Others simply find great joy in helping others. St. Mary is a special place to work because we combine our passion to serve others with sophisticated business and technical expertise. That's one reason we're considered a thought leader in the field of social determinants of health for older people. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for older people with low incomes, and we've been focused on that goal for more than 33 years.Whether you work in real estate development, resident services, finance, asset management, or resource development, you'll find working at St. Mary extremely rewarding. Job descriptions often don't capture important questions like "what is it really like to work at St. Mary," and "who are the people you serve?" Below is information that will be of interest to you if you're considering working for us. It includes what our team members and partners say about us, as well as a summary of benefits.If you have any question, always feel free to reach out to the hiring manger, or me.

"When I first came to St. Mary Development, I just wanted to help seniors. I have stayed with the company for the last 8 years because their mission isn't just to serve older adults, it is to serve but also to advocate for change on a scale that allows all older adults the opportunity to age in place with the dignity they deserve. It has been my privilege to do the work I love, for a company that truly cares."
