Welcome!
The Hincke Residence is a 13-apartment independent living facility made possible by Charles & Bertha Hincke of Pinckneyville, Illinois, whose legacy funded the construction and maintenance of the facility which opened for occupancy in April 1982 and was dedicated by Bishop John N. Wurm on July 11, 1982. The Sense Annex, an 8-apartment independent living facility adjoining the Hincke Residence, was built in 1990 through the generosity of Father Joe Sense. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Belleville operates both facilities for retired priests of the Belleville Diocese. Apartments are available for rent by Roman Catholic priests from other dioceses and religious orders with the approval of their local Ordinary or Religious Superior.
