Our charities and ministries are established to serve members of our St. Louis community experiencing hardships or crises.
Community Resources
If you or your family is in need, our archdiocesan resources, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society stand ready to assist.
Their services include caring for dependent, abused, and neglected children; supporting homeless or at-risk adults; aiding abused women; providing family counseling for parents and children; helping individuals struggling with drug abuse or alcoholism; and assisting older adults with special needs, among other services.
In the spirit of Luke 3:10-11, we echo the call to share and extend help: “Whoever has two tunics should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise.”
