Preachingfriars is a collaborative effort of the Dominican Student Brothers of St. Dominic Priory in St. Louis, MO. The studium comprises members of the Province of St. Martin de Porres (Southern) and the Province of St. Albert the Great (Central). As a community of both clerical and lay students, we study for the priesthood and future ministry at the Aquinas Institute of Theology. Begun in the fall of 2010 as a way to promote the weekly Vespers preaching of the friars, the site expanded to include reflections, video, and theological discourses. Visit us at www.preachingfriars.org Your contributions to our preaching mission are always welcome. Please pray for us.

St. Dominic Priory was built in 1908. Designed by Barnett, Haynes and Barnett, who also designed the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica, it is closely based on the design of Osterley Park, a country house located outside of London. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The building was originally home to the Loretto Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school operated by the Sisters of Loretto that opened in 1909. In 1952, Loretto Academy closed and consolidated with Nerinx Hall in Webster Groves, MO. Since 1952, the building served as a day-care center and then a convent for retired Loretto sisters until 1988. Most recently, an association of religious congregations administered an apartment community for impoverished women and children in the building. In 2009, changes in federal rent subsidies forced the closure of the association. The building was purchased in 2010 by the Dominicans of the Provinces of St. Martin de Porres and St. Albert the Great to provide a permanent home for the community of men in formation for the priesthood and brotherhood. The friars moved in on December 15, 2011.

Father Charles Pekar was appointed temporary pastor in 1895 followed by the appointment of Father B.H. Faitlik as the first permanent pastor in March 1896. The school opened September 3, 1895 with 2 School Sisters of Notre Dame and 76 students. By 1896, the school had grown to 100 students and 4 teaching sisters. In June, the sisters moved into their own convent, the former priest’s house, while the pastor moved into a rented building. On June 11, 1897 Father Charles August Bleha was appointed pastor and served here until he became pastor of St. John Nepomuk on May 15, 1900. He initiated work on the new priest’s residence which was completed August 21, 1898. This building still serves as the rectory today. He was succeeded by Father John Nekula who was pastor from 1900 until his death in 1922. Under his guidance, the congregation increased significantly resulting in a need to enlarge the facilities to accommodate parishioners and students. The church building was enlarged and re-blessed on September 2, 1906. The sisters moved into a renovated building across the alley in April 1914, enabling the convent to be converted into extra classrooms for more students. Following his ordination on June 11, 1915, Father William Hamtil, a former student of St. Wenceslaus School, was appointed assistant pastor until August 1919 when he became assistant pastor at St. John Nepomuk. In June 1922, after the death of Father Nekula, Father Hamtil was appointed pastor at St. Wenceslaus. Continued growth resulted in the ground-breaking for a new church on August 7, 1925. The cornerstone was laid on October 11, 1925, and the completed church was dedicated on May 31, 1926. This is the church building used today. The sacristy was added in 1939. The old church was converted into classrooms in 1930, as enrollment reached 185. In June 1933, the janitor’s living quarters were converted into a single large classroom. In this same year, the first kindergarten class opened with 36 students while the attic of the convent was remodeled to house additional sisters. By September 1935, enrollment was 302; consequently, on May 13, 1936 a new, ten-room, fireproof school with adjoining convent for 10 was begun. It was dedicated on October 18, 1936. In 1945, Father Joseph Pelly, M.S.F. was the first Missionary of the Holy Family to assist Father Hamtil by celebrating some of the Masses at St. Wenceslaus. By 1948, the school was overcrowded again with 525 students, 9 sisters and 2 lay teachers. On February 10, 1954, ground was broken for the addition of several classrooms and a cafeteria which were completed on December 5, 1954. On December 10, 1960, Father Hamtil died and his weekend assistant, Father Joseph Pelley, M.S.F. was appointed administrator until Archbishop Joseph Ritter announced on December 28, 1960 that care of the Parish would be given to the Missionaries of the Holy Family. Father Herman Berg, M.S.F. was appointed pastor with Father Ed Matthews, M.S.F. as his assistant. In 1965, Father Berg was transferred and Father Pelley was appointed pastor, but he died the same day he was to assume duties; Father Peter Roebrocks, M.S.F. was then named pastor. In the 1960’s, the number of parishioners and school children began to decline as people moved to the suburbs, resulting in the closing of St. Wenceslaus School in May 1972. It re-opened in the fall as a consolidated school of St. Agatha, St. Agnes, St. Francis de Sales and St. Wenceslaus parishes. Educating grades 6-8, it was renamed Notre Dame Elementary West after the School Sisters of Notre Dame who staffed it. The St. Francis de Sales School Building became Notre Dame Elementary East for children in grades 1-5. Enrollment for the combined schools was 566 students. In 1974, as further consolidation was needed, the school moved into the former St. Frances De Sales High School building. In September 1981, the Wenceslaus building became Monsignor Behrmann’s Learning Disability Canter. This center operated as an ungraded educational system for 96 students until the spring of 1995 when it moved to St. John the Baptist Parish. During the summer, Notre Dame Elementary School moved back into the St. Wenceslaus school building with 154 students and a staff of 12. On January 21, 1976, when Father Roebrocks died, his associate, Father Edward Zaborowski, M.S.F. was appointed pastor. He was assisted by Brother Joseph Roelke, M.S.F. who was eventually ordained a priest in August 1981 and celebrated his First Mass at St. Wenceslaus. Father Roelke succeeded Father Zaborowski by being appointed administrator in January 1988 and subsequently became pastor in August 1988. On May 27, 1989, Bishop Edward O”Donnell ordained parish Deacon Fred Brown, M.S.F. a priest in the parish church. George Miller, the first parishioner from St. Wenceslaus to become a permanent deacon, was ordained on June 8, 1991 by Archbishop John L. May who subsequently appointed Deacon Miller to serve at St. Wenceslaus where he continues to minister today. Furthermore, Deacon Miller served as Director of the Permanent Diaconate for the St. Louis Archdiocese from Jan. 1, 1998 to June 30, 2005 while simultaneously serving at St. Wenceslaus. In July 2000, Father John Lombardi, M.S.F. was appointed associate pastor. Brother John Griffin, M.S.F. was appointed to St. Wenceslaus in October 2001 to assist in the care and ministries of the parish. On June 1, 2001, Father Roelke became Provincial of the Missionaries of the Holy Family’s North American Province. Consequently, Father James Wuerth, M.S.F. was appointed pastor on September 1, 2001. In 2002, St. Pius V Parish closed its school and joined the parishes supporting Notre Dame Elementary. As a result of this merger, the name of the school was changed to St. Frances Cabrini Academy. In 2005, under the leadership of Archbishop Ramond L. Burke (now Cardinal Burke in Rome), final decisions for restructuring the South City Deanery were made in which 10 parishes were suppressed, either becoming chapels, an oratory, or the church buildings were sold. In spite of their assignment to other parishes by the Archdiocese, most people went shopping for a parish that suited them. In addition, a number of parishes became personal parishes, i.e., parishes without boundaries, dedicated to a particular spirituality or ministry. At this time, St. Wenceslaus was designated to be a Personal Parish for those drawn to the mission and spirituality of the Missionaries of the Holy Family. A number of people from the neighboring suppressed parishes became members of St. Wenceslaus in the following years. In November, 2009, Father John Lombardi, M.S.F retired to the Little Sisters of the Poor. In March 2010, Brother John Griffin, M.S.F. retired to Padua Place in San Antonio, TX. Through the years, St. Wenceslaus Parish has adapted to changes in its neighborhood and congregation. The parish still has some parishioners of Bohemian heritage but welcomes, and is actively involved with, many people of diverse backgrounds from the neighborhood and larger community. ST. WENCESLAUS CATHOLIC CHURCH staffed by: Missionaries of the Holy Family since 1960 The Missionaries of the Holy Family (MSF) is a worldwide Roman Catholic men’s Congregation of over 900 priests and brothers serving in 22 countries. The Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Family was founded in Holland by John Berthier, a French La Salette priest, on September 28, 1895, coincidentally the feast of St. Wenceslaus, while St. Wenceslaus Parish was founded in St. Louis that same year. The Missionaries of the Holy Family have a three-fold charism: First, they are missionaries, i.e., they bring the Gospel to those who are far away, which includes people who live on other continents as well as those who live nearby but are distant from God. The second charism of the Congregation is the promotion of vocations. Driven by the desire to provide missionaries for the Church, and by the many young men who wanted to become priests but were considered too old according to the thinking of the time, Father John Berthier, with the encouragement of Pope Leo XIII, founded the Institute for Late Vocations. The Missionaries of the Holy Family continue to be blessed with the charism of fostering late vocations for the Church. The third charism is the pastoral care of families. The Missionaries hold as their model, the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in their mutual love, unity, peace, prayer and obedience to the will of God; and they strive to inspire all families entrusted to their care with the desire to imitate the Holy Family. FRIENDS OF THE MISSIONARIES OF THE HOLY FAMILY Friends of the Missionaries of the Holy Family is a lay organization of men and women supporting the Missionaries of the Holy Family primarily through prayer. Friends of the Missionaries of the Holy Family meets quarterly for an evening Mass followed by a social gathering where new information is shared. For any occasion, give the gift of prayer through the Perpetual Mass Association. To receive a Perpetual Mass Folder, or for more information about the Friends of the Missionaries, please call Maury Prater or Mary Martin at 314-577-6300.

Offering the Perpetual Mass Association since 1933, we are a worldwide, Roman Catholic religious order of over 900 priests and brothers, faithful to Jesus Christ and His Vicar, emphasizing the Holy Family as the standard of holiness for all families.

We are the city site of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in South County, part of a larger effort to influence the St. Louis region with the gospel. We are Lutheran Christians. We don't believe in walking it alone, or being lone theological rangers. We walk together with about 6,000 other congregations across the country in a church body known as The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Reliant is grounded in the historic Christian faith. We abide by the Confessions and Doctrines of the Lutheran Church. At the center of our faith is the redemptive work Jesus did for us by dying on the Cross and rising from the dead. We strongly hold to the work of God through His means of grace in Holy Communion and Baptism. Reliant Church sees the Scriptures in the Holy Bible as the inerrant Word of God. The Reliant community believes we are called to be children of God and that Christ has come to save all peoples no matter race, color, gender, or past. Humanity is offered a hope and forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ. Reliant Church believes God has given it a commission to reach St. Louis with the Good News of Christ's forgiveness in sins and hope in eternal life. We believe God has blessed our Church with a congregation of dynamic individuals devoted to the spread of the Gospel in a loving, lively, and diverse way. Reliant is a community loved by God and sent by God. We are loved by God in Jesus Christ. This love compels us to be sent. The word "mission" comes from Latin missio, or sent. We go wherever there is need for love, the love of Christ. So far, we have sent people to Bogota, London, San Diego, Seattle, Minneapolis, South Carolina, Texas and Florida. On a weekly basis we are all sent across St. Louis, from South City to Soulard, from the West End to West County, from SLU to Wash U. We pray that the gospel of Jesus continues to go forth, as more people are loved and more people are sent.
