Are you pregnant and in need of support or just someone to talk to? Contact Birthright STL at (314) 962-5300 or visit the Birthright STL website. 100% of services are free and confidential. Birthright offers care from the beginning of your pregnancy until as long as you need it once your baby is born. Women’s CareConnect, Mary Queen of Angels, and Our Lady’s Inn are also dedicated to supporting moms and their unborn children.

“For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.” - Psalm 139:13-18

Every single life is precious to God and to our St. Joseph Parish community.

Kairos Prison Ministry

Help make cookies for the Kairos prison ministry retreat in November. Cookies must be made according to a few simple guidelines (no fruit, no nuts, no icing, no sprinkles). They should be about three inches in size, packed in quart-sized Ziploc bags, one dozen per bag. Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter or oatmeal are great! Other varieties are welcome too! For contact information, see the parish directory.
