St. Joseph Housing Initiative

A huge thank you to the brother Knights of the Bishop DuBourg Council of the Knights of Columbus for their generous donation to SJHI, “in recognition for and appreciation of SJHI’s demonstrated Corporal Works of Mercy.” We are grateful for this truly impactful support!

There’s a new roof at SJHI’s house under renovation on Gasconade! For a new homeowner, a new roof brings security, efficiency, and sets them up for a positive start in their new house!

Save this date! 🎉SJHI’s 9th Annual Raise the Roof Benefit is Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 🏡 Every year, this signature event uplifts and sustains SJHI’s mission: creating vibrant communities through affordable quality housing where low and moderate income families can thrive, prosper and build wealth.

This year’s theme, Harvesting Home, reflects the bountiful rewards of nine years of planting and nurturing the seeds of vision and faith. We will celebrate the 17 SJHI homeowner families in their homes, share about our 6 projects currently underway, and come together to generate support ensuring the continuation of this work: Helping Homeownership Happen! Sponsorships are impactful- if you are interested in sponsoring this event, contact SJHI Development Director Carolyn Hellmich at 314.471.0282 ext. 701 or [email protected]

It's always a good thing to begin the week with gratitude for volunteers. Members from St. Mary's Wrestling team have been serving with SJHI every Friday afternoon-- mowing and maintaining yards as well as other projects. In addition to projects in the house, these volunteers extracted three huge yew bushes to make way for renovation work and fresh new landscaping. Thank you to these volunteers and all who show their support for SJHI's mission through service! # St. Mary's South Side Catholic High School
