In the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi
and through creative service in preference for the poor,

provides pastoral listening, respectful support
and emergency assistance
to low-income St. Louis area families in times of need.

Together
with a team of dedicated volunteers and benefactors
we, friars and friends,

free of substandard living conditions
and a community
where families
truly wish to live.
