Dear Parishioners, Pastor Monsignor Henry Breier This past week on Monday we said goodbye to James 314.380.4020 [email protected] Renshaw, the husband of Wanda Renshaw of our parish. James and Wanda were joined in marriage for a Parochial Vicar little over 59 years. James leaves behind five children.

Last year the parish was notified that we would no longer be receiving compensation for having these present on Coordinator of Religious Education our parking lot. This was due in large part to the greater efforts of Parish School of Religion recycling and the lower price for these commodities. Thus, the parish Ann Bender received no rebate from these companies. We will continue to have one 314.380.4011 bin present of each on our lot. Please feel free to utilize them if needed.
