In 1862 a large parish school was built nearby, to care for the many children of the area. The School Sisters of Notre Dame staffed the school.1866–1880Just at this time a Jesuit missionary, Father Francis Xavier Weninger, came to St. Joseph's to preach.Over the years the parish grew, it became obvious that the original church was no longer large enough to serve the congregation.

Bishop Kenrick laid the cornerstone for this second St. Joseph in 1865.

We are a Bible believing church founded on the principles of the Apostles doctrine-the witnesses who walked with Jesus, ate with Jesus, slept with Jesus, and was there when he was crucified. They received first hand, the new covenant between God and humanity from Jesus Christ himself. The new covenant instituted by the life, death, and grandiose resurrection of Jesus! We believe in sincere repentance before a holy God, that is to say turning away from your old way of living into a more profound way of life. We believe in the submersion of water, baptising you in the name of Jesus for the removal of your past sins-cleansing you. This is a public sign of your committment to your new life in Christ and it symbolically buries the old you and makes way for the new you to spring forth! We believe in the supernatural indwelling of the Spirit of God, the Logos, dwelling down inside of you enpowering you along your new journey, leading and directing you into a revealed world of truth!

Jerome and Rosemary Flance Early Learning Center at Murphy Park (Flance Center) is an innovative community facility that offers exceptional care and education for up to 154 children and their families in a child-focused, center-based, and diverse learning environment. Flance Early Learning Center carries on the legacy of Dr. I.

Strong family support and home visitation programs will help to integrate the roles of family, school and community, thus providing a nurturing environment for children’s emotional, social, cognitive and physical health from birth through age five. It serves as a training center for current and future providers of childcare from the surrounding community, thereby enhancing the quality of early childhood learning beyond the walls of Flance Early Learning Center.

The Electrical Workers Historical Society: Preserving IBEW’s Legacy It wasn’t long after St. Louis Local 1 purchased the old home of Henry Miller that leaders realized it was the beginning of an endeavor to create a lasting testament to the history of the IBEW. With that in mind, and with the help of the international office, they created the Electrical Workers Historical Society. “We’re grateful to Local 1 for all their efforts to secure the Henry Miller house and are pleased to work with them on the next steps,” said International President Lonnie R. Stephenson. “We have a rich history that we are proud of, and now we have a place to showcase it.” The Society, a nonprofit that has filed for tax exempt status, will manage and raise funds for the building’s restoration and ongoing operations as a museum. The property is currently owned by Local 1’s building corporation and will be transferred to the Society. In addition to managing the funds, the Society will maintain the museum as a space for education and preservation of the IBEW’s history, and to foster deeper understanding and appreciation of the Brotherhood and the broader labor movement. The Society is governed by a board of directors, including International President Lonnie R. Stephenson, Secretary-Treasurer Salvatore J. Chilia, 11 th District Vice President Curtis E. Henke, Local 1 Business Manager Frank D. Jacobs, and James I. Singer, lawyer for Local 1. All funds collected will be used for the purposes of restoring and maintaining the museum. “We’ve come a long way since Miller and the other founders started this union,” Jacobs said. “It’s important that we don’t forget that. We need to know where we came from.”
Since receiving its 501(c)3 status in 1986, Gateway Greening has developed five core programs to address these urban concerns: 1. The Community Gardens Program has helped start and support more than 200 community gardens in the St. Louis area. These gardens have inspired, educated, and reflected the pride of the program's participants, and have often become community focal points and catalysts for neighborhood improvement. 2. The Youth Program supports 75 school and youth-focused gardens in St. Louis, and works to change young lives by involving at-risk youth in sustainable food production and garden-based education. 3. Whitmire City Seeds Urban Farm, located at Market and Pine streets on two and a half acres of land in the heart of the city, is an urban agriculture initiative providing job training and therapeutic horticulture to homeless and underserved individuals. A collaboration of several local organizations, the farm produces and distributes affordable, healthy, and locally grown produce. 4. Urban Roots engages volunteers from gardening, educational, business, and horticultural "green" industries, as well as non-profit service communities, to enhance the downtown St. Louis urban landscape through large-scale seasonal plantings. 5. Hub Gardens are gardens that serve communities and local schools. These hub gardens provide educational opportunities, as well as technical assistance for gardeners. In addition, Hub Gardens provide helpful services such as vegetable gardening workshops, food preparation demonstrations, seedling propagation, and tool lending.
How do we do it? We provide technical assistance to help neighborhood organizations realize and maintain their visions of positive change. We partner with neighborhood organizations to develop housing and other improvements to revitalize neighborhoods. We provide development consulting and historic preservation consulting services, as well as mapping and database management services, empowering both nonprofit organizations and for-profit developers to effect sustainable neighborhood revitalization. We provide pre-development funding to enable nonprofit organizations to begin work on difficult, important redevelopment projects where conventional financing is not available. We are a conduit for knowledge between organizations, residents, and institutions facing similar struggles and working toward similar goals, bringing consistency to the region-wide community development process. We make a difference!
We are a nonprofit fraternal benefit society owned by our insured Members. Members can participate at the Nest, District and National level in a host of exciting social, civic, athletic, and benevolent activities
The Doctrine of The Bread of Life Pentecostal Apostolic Church We Believe: that the Bible is the inspired, infallible (unalterable) word of God, written by Holy Men of old as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:20-21 & 2 Tim. 3:16-17) We Believe: in ONE God who is infinite in power [Omnipotent], Holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent. (Deut. 6:4, 1 Cor 8:6, Eph 4:6) Omnipotent: All Powerful ● Omniscient: All Knowing ● Omnipresence: All Present We Believe: that He was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as Holy Spirit in His [comforting] grace that never leaves those who trust in Him. (2 Cor 5:19; Joel 2:28; Isaiah 45:18; John 1:1&14) We Believe: that in Jesus Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell. (Col 2:9; Col 1:19; John 10:30; John 14:8; 1 John 5:7; Isaiah 43:10-15) We Believe: in the virgin birth. Jesus was both human and divine. He was God manifested in the flesh. (I Tim. 3:16; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6) We Believe: in the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor.15:1-8 & 20). We Believe: that He ascended on high and has sent His spirit, the Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago, and it is this same Spirit that fills the hearts of those who seek Him today. (Acts 2:4 & 2:22-24; 1 Cor. 15:20) We Believe: in baptism in water by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth. (Acts 2:4, 38; Acts 19:5-6; John 3:3-8; Acts 8:16; Acts 10:44-46; Titus 3:5) We Believe: in living a Holy and Sanctified life apart from which one can not please God (Heb 12:14; 1 Thess. 4:3 & 7; Matt. 5:48; 2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Peter 1:16) We Believe: in Divine Healing, Communion and foot washing (Mark 16:17-18; 1 Cor 11:23-26; John 13:4-15) We Believe: [also] in the glorious catching away (The Rapture) of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds of glory to take His people to Heaven. (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-54) We Believe: that JESUS is the only saving NAME... and so "whatsoever you do in word or deed, do ALL in the Name of the Lord Jesus." (Acts 4:12; Col. 3:17)
