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 ConstructionHousing stability means going where the need is greatest.
And yesterday, we planted the first seed.#CatholicCharitiesHousing #ccstloneministry
