This is one of the churches closing July 1st in the southside deanery of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. This church is situated on Kingshighway Boulevard, a major thoroughfare and is facing historic Tower Grove Park. It is a unique squared-off classical design of the kind that was popular until the advent of iconoclastic modernism.

I actually went to school and church there from 1984-1995. I was sad when I heard that it was closing. I wanted one day to be able to take mey kids there and shoe them that this is where I went to school at.
