A message from the Little Sisters of the Poor
St. Louis Residence, St. Louis, MO
Our Sisters first came to the St. Louis area in 1869. Over the years, thousands of elderly poor received compassionate and devoted care, and were accompanied by our Sisters on their final journey home to God.
As part of a strategic plan aimed at strengthening our ministry and bolstering the quality of our religious and community life, the Little Sisters have recognized the need to withdraw from a certain number of Homes in the United States, while at the same time dedicating their resources to much needed upgrades and reconstruction projects in several others.
We had to make the difficult decision to no longer have a Home in St. Louis. However, we still maintain an office that supports our mission. We are privileged to be able to care for the elderly poor and witness the sacredness of every life in 17 Homes throughout the U.S.
All contributions and bequests to Saint Louis Residence will continue to support the mission of caring for the elderly in our Homes throughout the country.
We are very grateful for your past support. Be assured of our grateful prayers.
