Compassion in Action — Every Day Throughout St. Augustine Health Ministries
As we approach the close of another year, we’re reminded that generosity changes lives — every single day — across our family of ministries.
Each gift to St. Augustine Health Ministries, Holy Family Hospice, or St. Augustine Towers Assisted Living ensures that older adults and those living with chronic or terminal illness receive the care, comfort, and compassion they deserve.
Your kindness ensures that every person we serve is cared for — body, mind, and spirit.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
Your generosity provides far more than medical care — it creates moments of connection, dignity, and joy:
Comfort and peace for hospice patients and families during their final days.
Enrichment and laughter through art, music, and activities for residents living with chronic illness.
Basic needs like clothing, toiletries, and special outings for those who have outlived family or savings.
Pastoral care and companionship for individuals who otherwise might be alone.
Every act of giving reminds those we serve that they are valued, loved, and never forgotten.
