Saint Patrick Center Facts

Our Mission
St. Patrick Center provides opportunities for self-sufficiency and dignity to persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Individuals achieve permanent, positive changes in their lives through affordable housing, sound mental health, employment and financial stability.

Our Work
St. Patrick Center is the largest provider of homeless services in Missouri with 28 housing, employment and mental health programs, assisting more than 9,000 persons annually who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. St. Patrick Center helps individuals and families move from homelessness to independence in a measurable, cost-effective manner.

Our Spirituality Statement
In solidarity with the traditional social teaching of the Catholic Church, St. Patrick Center embraces the attitude of Jesus as servant to the poor. We espouse a spirituality that places our clients at the center of all decisions.

St. Patrick Center will work with our clients in a holistic manner: honoring their dignity and human rights; listening to each individual; providing for emotional, physical and spiritual needs; and creating an environment that encourages all to be the best they can be.

Working as servant-leaders, staff and volunteers will manifest an attitude of openness that is inclusive of all faith, beliefs and cultures; humility based on truth; compassion not influenced by sentimentality or stereotype; and love that both champions and profoundly respects the free will of each person.
