The food pantry truck will be parked on the bell tower lot before both Masses, accepting your non-perishable food items and monetary donations. Thank you for your steadfast support.
 

In observation of the guidelines from the Archdiocese and the City of St. Louis, our Masses are limited in capacity by a reservation system, so that all in attendance are safely distanced. Masks are required, and there are multiple opportunities for hand sanitizing. Contact-less temperature screening will be done as you arrive.  Select windows will be open during Mass to maximize air circulation; please dress for cooler temperatures.
