Marjorie’s Legacy
Continuing a Mother’s Desire to Help Families Facing Mental Illness
Marjorie Fleming wanted her legacy to help others. Through her family’s love and commitment, that desire now lives on through the Marjorie Fleming Endowment for Mental Health Awareness, Education, and Support.
This endowment supports the work of Saint Louis Counseling by helping parish communities learn how to respond when mental health challenges touch the lives of individuals and families. It is a lasting way to encourage empathy, reduce shame, and help people know they do not have to carry their struggles alone.
For families facing mental illness, knowing where to turn can make all the difference. The Marjorie Fleming Endowment helps create sustainable support so more people can be met with understanding, compassion, and connection to trusted resources.
A Family's Story. A Legacy of Hope.
Kathleen's family created the Marjorie Fleming Endowment to honor a legacy shaped by faith, care, and the desire to help others find support sooner. Their story points to a simple but powerful hope: that more people in parish communities will know how to respond with empathy when someone is struggling.
The endowment carries that legacy forward by strengthening mental health awareness, education, and support across the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
