Photos of Saint Agatha Church, in Saint Louis, Missouri

Here are photos of Saint Agatha church, in Saint Louis, Missouri, located about three miles southwest of the Old Cathedral in downtown, and about a half mile from the banks of the Mississippi River.

Click here for my newer photos of the church.



Saint Agatha's is located next to Interstate 55, and is just south of the Anheuser-Busch brewery, seen here in the background left. As this church has a very small natural parish, it is now home to the Polish-language apostolate. For many years, this was the location for the Archdiocesan's Indult Latin Mass.

I took this first photo in November, 2005. The rest were taken on October 29^th, 2006.



The parish dates from 1871; the church from 1885.



The rectory dates from 1896.





Window of Christ as the Good Shepherd, over the "Western", or main doors.



Nave of the church.



The altar, featuring a painting of the patroness, Saint Agatha, a 3rd-century martyr.



About ten minutes before Mass. Parishioners were saying the Rosary in Polish.
