CATHEDRAL HILL NEIGHBORHOOD
SAINT PAUL, MN
“I came to St. Paul to get recovery and I am still here”. We hear this all the time. We are not asking for our guests to make St Paul their permanent home but it happens because of the amazing community that supports recovery like none other in the country. From top providers of services, a vibrant and active AA/NA community to our beautiful weather we are proud to call St Paul home. Yes Dec-Feb can be chilly but we make the best of it at LHB with sponsored recovery Pickelball, a night at a local escape room or a Wild hockey game with our sober friends. As far as spring-summer-fall we have it all in St Paul. Sober softball league, amazing theatre and 10,0000 lakes. LHB is ten minutes to Delta hub MSP airport, 10 min to the University of Minnesota campus and just up the hill from downtown St Paul. Cathedral Hill is a beautiful and historic neighborhood we are proud to be part of.
