St. Mary's Residential Community and Services

St. Mary's mission is to provide a loving, spiritual community that allows individuals living with developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential.

Mary’s campus has many fun activities, including an indoor swimming pool, splash pads, a gymnasium, a beauty shop, several playgrounds, a miniature golf course, a covered horse riding arena, a walking/biking trail, a chapel in which Sunday and holy day Masses are celebrated, and many special events. The children at St. Mary’s reside in either dormitory or group home settings and receive individualized care. Each resident has an Individualized Program Plan developed by the Interdisciplinary Team, detailing their strengths and needs and outlining goals and objectives, which when achieved, will allow the individual to function more independently. Residents participate in day-time training either through the Rapides Parish School Board, St. Mary’s Applied Behavior Analysis Learning Center, or Day and Work Programs. Daily living tasks and community outings provide incidental training opportunities to our children, which contribute to their independence. Mary’s staff include two Board Certified Behavior Analysts, who work to promote the comprehensive principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Part of St. Mary’s success for effectively treating children with severe autism is through our ABA Program. This research based program is extremely successful for children with autism and has also proven to be effective for other spectrum disorders. ABA breaks training goals down into small segments and uses positive reinforcement. The ABA
program is utilized in St. Mary’s ABA Learning Center and is currently being introduced throughout the main campus and our group homes.

“I Never Worry About Her.” That’s what happens when trust runs deep. For families, peace of mind comes from knowing her loved one is respected and cared for by people who genuinely understand her needs. At St. Mary’s, care is a partnership—between families, staff, and a supportive community. It’s built through relationships, consistency, and shared commitment, creating an environment where families don’t just hope their loved one is okay—they know she is.

Recently, we welcome students and staff from Avoyelles Charter School to our campus. They generously donated their time and brought gifts for our residents, but even more importantly, they came ready to learn, listen, and connect. During their visit, the group toured both one of our older homes and one of our newer homes, giving them a firsthand look at daily life at St. Mary’s Residential Community & Services. Students were able to ask questions directly to our staff and residents, gaining a deeper understanding of how community support, volunteerism, and inclusion truly make an impact.

For 2026 we have a wide range of volunteer opportunities available and would love to welcome more schools, civic organizations, and local businesses to get involved. If you’re interested in touring our campus or volunteering with us, we invite you to sign up! 👉 https://stmarysalexandria.dm.networkforgood.com/forms/st-mary-s-residential-community-and-services-volunteer
