Assistance Programs

Utility Assistance Program

Our objective is to help low income households get through difficult times. This program provides year round assistance to help people pay for bitterly cold winters or unbearable hot summers in addition to those who are at risk of utility shutoffs. In situations where our community families are under the fear of being evicted from their home due to overdue rent, we provide assistance as well. Currently we invest $8,000 a week over $420,000 a year, in supporting the poor in the Greater St. Louis community. We accept donations all year round. You may donate by clicking here. Utility and rental assistance is provided every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Numbers are given to the first 30 people in line at 6:00 am. Those receiving the blessing of this assistance must have their identification, utility bill or rental agreement and $25 cash or money order. The $25 dollars will be matched with up to $75 toward their bill.

Christmas Baskets

As part of our mission to serve others during the Christmas season every year we give away thousands of Christmas baskets and over 900 Shoe and Clothing certificates. We have very little administration cost which allows 97% of the donations to go directly to the recipients. Even though this is a once a year program we accept donations all year round.

Funeral Assistance

We all know that the crossing over of a loved one is a stressful. Fr. Bob’s Outreach tries to lighten the burden and stress by assisting with monetary stipend of $100 for funeral assistance. For assistance contact us at: Father Bob’s Outreach St. Augustine Catholic Church 1371 Hamilton Ave St. Louis MO. 63112 Tel: 314-385-1934

Ash Wednesday: A Time for Reflection and Renewal

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, a sacred time in the Christian calendar that spans 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday. It is a day filled with profound spiritual significance, inviting believers to reflect on their faith, embrace humility, and prepare their hearts for the resurrection of Christ. The beauty of Ash Wednesday lies not only in its rituals but also in the deep meaning it holds for those who observe it.

What is Lent and how do you prepare for it?

Lent is a sacred season observed by many Christians around the world as a time of reflection, repentance, and preparation leading up to Easter Sunday. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, Lent invites believers to deepen their relationship with God, focus on spiritual growth, and commemorate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.In 2025, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5, and ends on Holy Saturday, April 19, the day before Easter Sunday. This 40-day period (excluding Sundays) mirrors the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, resisting temptation, and preparing for His ministry.

Testimonials

     

 I went for the first time. The staff treated us really well. I really liked their energy. They prayed with us as a group and individually. I talked to Father Bob on the phone (because he was sick). He sounded good. They help the first 30 people with their utility bill. You give $25 and they will add $100 to that. Many of the churches are closing, they don't know if they will be able to continue with that.
