Accommodations and Food
With three different locations in St. Louis, the QPC residential programs provide housing at the Cathedral Tower home (CSTAR 26 beds), the Annex home (19 beds for women and families) and Our Lady of Perpetual Hope (24 beds for pregnant and postpartum women).

All three houses provide three healthy meals a day, and a clean and safe environment.
