Stronger Together - A Virtual Auction & Streaming Event - St. Patrick Center
Welcome from Joe Mooney, Irish Open Event Chair
I’m honored, once again, to be your Irish Open event chair. This year, we’ve
gone virtual, and an event of this new magnitude is not without its challenges.
As a board member and sponsor, I appreciate the continued good work
St. Patrick Center is doing during this difficult time. Thank you for being with us
tonight and for your commitment to St. Patrick Center.

Tonight we will be coming to you live from St. Patrick Center, where the
dedicated staff comes together day after day to solve homelessness and help
people change their lives. I invite you to sit back, relax, grab your favorite
beverage and snack, and join us from your own home.

Change has been the theme during this pandemic, and your gift to St. Patrick
Center changes lives. Thousands of St. Louisans are facing financial
challenges and we know St. Patrick Center will be at the forefront for helping
St. Louis area citizens bounce back.

I want to personally thank all Irish Open sponsors as well as the event
committee. It was a challenge to change the event with a few weeks’ notice, but
they came together to support St. Patrick Center’s mission.

Thank you for being with us—from the comfort of your homes. Please be as
generous as your budget allows during our auctions and Bid to End
Homelessness. Together, we can make a difference!

We remember Edith Cunnane

The St. Patrick Center family remembers our founder, Edith Cunnane, who
passed away January 3, 2020 at the age of 76.

On a bitterly cold day in the early 1980s, Edith asked a group of people why
they were outside. One man responded, “Lady, where do you think I would be
welcome today?” This was the inspiration that surged Edith forward with a
new mission that gave a voice and face to people experiencing
homelessness.

In partnership with the Archdiocese of St. Louis, Catholic Charities of
St. Louis and Monsignor Robert Slattery, Edith founded St. Patrick Center in
1983 inside the former St. Patrick School at 6th and Biddle Streets. For the
next ten years, she served as the agency’s first Executive Director, working
tirelessly to increase services to people who were the most vulnerable.

Under Edith’s direction, St. Patrick Center opened the Shamrock Club, the
nation’s first day treatment program for people experiencing behavioral health
issues. She also launched the Casserole Program and McMurphy’s Grill, and
expanded programming to include housing assistance, employment services
and life skills training.

In all, Edith dedicated 37 years to St. Patrick Center. In her words from
St. Patrick Center’s 25th anniversary celebration: “I feel so privileged to be
associated with St. Patrick Center and feel I was really just an instrument of
what God wanted done in this community.”
