• We turned soil, but more importantly, we turned a page.

      Yesterday in Troy, MO, we celebrated the beginning of something bold: Catholic Charities Housing, a new ministry, a new mission, and a new chapter in how we serve.

      With the support of our friends at Bridge of Hope Lincoln County, we held a Blessing Ceremony marking the future site of a transformative affordable housing project, set to welcome its first residents in Fall 2026.

      Speakers reminded us that this isn’t just a construction project. It’s an act of faith. It’s a commitment to reach beyond the city — to every corner of the Archdiocese, including our rural communities.

      Thank you to:
      The Most Reverend Mitchell T. Rozanski, Archbishop of St. Louis
      Dr. Jared Bryson, President & CEO
      Brian Davies, Board Secretary
      Kevin Buchek, President of Roanoke Construction

      Housing stability means going where the need is greatest.
      And yesterday, we planted the first seed.
