Psalm 139:13 HCSB
"For it was You Who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will praise You, because I have been remarkably and wonderfuly made."
Since 1982, more than 5,000 pregnant moms, plus their babies and children, have received shelter and care at Our Lady's Inn maternity home.
Our Lady's Inn-St. Louis opened January 22, 1982. Our Lady's Inn-St. Charles opened April 1, 2006.
As you can imagine, the ability to keep Our Lady's Inn-St. Louis & St. Charles open and staffed 24 hours per day relies on the prayers and kindness of indiviudals, families, businesses, groups, donors, churches, clubs, schools, sponsors, foundations and other generous hearts, like yours.
Only about 25% of our budget at this time comes from any governmental source. The other 80% of the budget is provided through fundraisers, grants, and individual and group giving.
As the need for emergency shelter continues, we thank you for you financial support and your participating in these FUN fundraisers!
EVENT VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED! THANK YOU!

Thank you and Happy Mother's Day!
This is the inside of the Mother's Day card: God smiled at the little one and said, “You will simply call herMOM.” Dear Mom, Thank you for choosing LIFE! To thank you for all you have done for me, a gift has been made to Our Lady’s Inn, in your honor, to support other mothers so they also may choose LIFE. Happy Mother’s Day!
This is the front of the Mother's Day card:
Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. The child asked God, “They tell me You are sending me to Earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there, being so small and helpless? God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.” The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven, I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile and be happy.” God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you everyday. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.” Again, the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.” “And what will I do when I want to talk to You?”, asked the child. God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray.” “I’ve heard that on Earth there are really bad people. Who will protect me?” God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its own life.” “But God, I will always be sad because I will not see You anymore." God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about Me and teach you to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you. At that moment, there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard. The child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave you now, please tell me the name of my angel?” (Author Unknown)
