Saints Mary and Joseph Chapel at Saint Stephen Protomartyr Parish
|
The Saints Mary and Joseph Chapel is located within the boundaries
of Saint Stephen Protomartyr parish, which roughly include the
Holly Hills and Carondelet neighborhoods on the south side of the
city of St. Louis, Missouri. Saints Mary and Joseph
parish was folded into the Saint Stephen Protomartyr parish in June
of 2005 as a result of parish mergers in the south city and north
county areas of St. Louis. The Saints Mary and Joseph church building
was transformed into the Saints Mary and Joseph Chapel.
The Saints Mary and Joseph Chapel has a long and fascinating history,
reaching back to the earliest days of the city of St. Louis, even before
the recognition of Missouri as a state in the union. Captured here
is some information about the history of the Saints Mary and Joseph
parish and Chapel.
The majority of this historical information
was gathered and written by Reverend Monsignor Fenton Runge,
who served as an Associate Pastor
at Saints Mary and Joseph church for over 10 years.
