Our New Maternity Home
This is such an exciting time in the life of Our Lady’s Inn! While we are enormously proud of our decades-long history of serving expectant women in crisis and grateful for God’s grace which has carried us thus far, it is to the future that we look at this moment in time.
Under the guidance of the Board of Directors, the organization is moving forward on plans designed to deepen the impact of the work we have been called to accomplish and to ensure the sustainability of the mission well into the future.

Over the last decade we have seen a steady increase in the number of St. Louis County women seeking our services-in recent years more than 50% of those we serve have been St. Louis County residents. Our decades of experience taught us that serving individuals where they are in proximity to their medical providers, schools, employment opportunities and where they desire to establish a home is the most effective services delivery methodology. So, to meet the growing need for maternity home services for the women of St. Louis County, the Board determined these women would be best served close to their home environment, rather than continue to shuttle them to St. Louis City or to our home in Defiance.
A multi-year search for a location, resulted in the identification of a piece of land upon which we could build a maternity home. Our search covered all options including vacant schools, convents, churches and long abandoned multi-resident facilities. In the end, retrofitting an old space, preforming asbestos and lead abatement and replacing plumbing and electrical systems proved a less satisfactory option than a new build.
Now, the long-hoped for addition of a new maternity home in St. Louis County will be realized with the 2024 purchase of a multi-acre property in unincorporated St. Louis County on Big Bend Road.
