Dear Friends of St. Louis Center,
We are running into a new year! As we do, I must look back on the amazing 2025 we had at the Center. With so many engaged and generous donors, we were once again able to provide quality, life-enhancing care to all of our residents. I truly cannot thank you enough.
Over the holidays, I had the beautiful opportunity to visit family and friends in India. As I traveled, I felt the interconnectedness of us all. While there are many differences between the cultures of India and America, there are also many similarities. We are all Children of God searching for connection and fullness of life. Many ministries run by the Servants of Charity and others in India serve people in need. It is a blessing to see so many committed people around the world uplifting the lives of the needy. Humanity is the same everywhere, constantly revealing God’s love to those in need. Thanks be to God.
As I look forward to 2026, I am reminded of the resilience Christ has imbued in us as humans. Together, when we care for our neighbors, the vulnerable, and even those we disagree with, we can overcome any hardship. I think especially of those who donated in so many ways. I am personally indebted to the Community Advisory Committee members who have embraced our mission as their own, as well as all involved in fundraising efforts. What a gift! Everyone, with unique abilities, commits to providing the best life for our residents. I am deeply grateful for the hardworking staff of St. Louis Center. May the Good Lord bless all who enhance the lives of our residents.
This year, I extend an invitation to all supporters and friends to get to know our residents and staff. Come share a meal with our residents. Come work alongside our staff. Come engage with the meaningful work we are doing in any way you can. On behalf of all the residents of St. Louis Center, I profusely thank you for your generous support. God bless you.
