Have questions about Deaconess Anne House? See below, and if it's not covered you can contact the Director here.

​Do corps members get paid?
Yes! Corps members receive a $250 monthly stipend from The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri to cover personal expenses while they volunteer with us. 

Do corps members receive health insurance?
Corps members are provided with health insurance paid for in full by The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri unless they are eligible and able to remain on their parents' insurance plans (those under the age of 26).  

Are corps members allowed to bring cars?
Yes! Corps members may bring their cars, and are eligible for up to $80 in gas reimbursements per month. If corps members do not have cars, they receive a bus/metro pass for their term of service. 

Are corps members responsible for rent costs?
Not here! Corps members live together at the Deaconess Anne House at no cost to them. All utilities, property taxes, maintenance costs, furniture, Wi-Fi, and other housing associated costs are paid by The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. They each sign a lease with The Diocese prior to arrival. 

Do corps members pay for their own food?
Nope! Corps members receive the equivalent of $100 per person a month for food. Grocery shopping is done as a community!

Do corps members receive a bonus at the completion of the program?
Yes! Corps members receive at least $800 at the completion of the year to aid them in costs for moving and deposit on an apartment. This is contingent on the fulfillment of their contractual obligation.


How many hours and what days during week do corps members work?
Corps members work 32 hours a week, Monday-Thursday. Fridays are reserved for Chapter Meeting and Discernment, as well as spiritual direction and practices!

Who do corps members interact with outside of the house community?
Corps members enjoy the rich support of a community dedicated to their well being. In the spring, Mentors meet with members monthly for coffee and conversation, and spiritual directors are available all year long to meet regularly to help guide members through their vocational discernment. Parishes in the Diocese are always providing support through prayer and hospitality. Deaconess Anne House is also deeply rooted in the Old North St. Louis neighborhood, where corps members meet and interact with their neighbors! The community expands far beyond the walls of the house.
