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.
St Catherine of Siena Catholic Church is a place for Contemporary Catholics, seeking to learn about God and God’s will, to reach out and share what they have learned and experienced. St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church is a member of the Communion of Synodal Catholic Churches.

Genevieve, St. Louis, Warren, and Washington. It is the metropolitan see to the suffragan sees of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, the Diocese of Jefferson City, and the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.It is currently led by Robert James Carlson, the former Bishop of Saginaw, who was named the Archbishop-elect on April 21, 2009, by Pope Benedict XVI, and was installed on June 10, 2009. Archbishop Carlson is assisted by Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Robert Joseph Hermann. His predecessor was Archbishop Raymond Burke until Burke's transfer to the position of Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura on June 27, 2008. The archdiocesan cathedral is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. The original cathedral and mother church is the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France. The Archdiocese is also one of two in the world that has both an Archbishop and a Cardinal, as Raymond Burke's See remains St. Louis, and represents the Archdiocese in the College of Cardinals.
We thank you for visiting our page and hope you consider becoming a Young Friend of the Cathedral. As little as $5 does the trick, and truly every cent is used to maintain our beautiful Cathedral. While many assume its preservation is under the care of the Archdiocese, these treasured works of art are actually not a part of the parish’s budget. It is up to the Friends of the Cathedral Board as well as the Young Friends to ensure their protection. The hours of work and amount of money needed to maintain this building and its art is overwhelming. We rely on the generosity of those around us, as the parish’s first duty is to take care of the people it houses. People from all walks of life are invited to join our group. While we sponsor Catholic activities and events, we would love everyone living in or visiting our city to come down and witness the monumental beauty sitting in the heart of the Central West End. It can be cherished by Catholics and non-Catholics alike as it is open to and welcomes all visitors daily. Thank you again for your interest, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have!

HISTORY The Saint Louis Student Pharmacists Association (SPA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 by student pharmacists of St. Louis College of Pharmacy. SPA was created to serve as an umbrella organization for all professional organizations on campus. Since its inception SPA has grown to contain more than seven organizations (American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists, American College of Clinical Pharmacy, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, National Community Pharmacist Association, Missouri Pharmacy Association, and Illinois Pharmacists Association). VISION A student organization that enriches the educational experience and inspires every student pharmacist to find their passion in the profession.
VISION To lead a co-curricular Greek movement, predicated on partnership and collaboration amongst the undergraduates, host institutions, alumni and General Fraternity, and offering an experience that focuses on the maturational development of today’s college man. As such, it is the vision of Lambda Chi Alpha to extend itself beyond the traditional social fraternity in practice and principle. OBJECTIVES Objective 1. Focus the Fraternity on personal character development through leadership, scholarship, community service, and positive social experiences. Objective 2. Support undergraduate and alumni members through improvement and development of programs, standards, and services that focus on personal character development through leadership, scholarship, community service, and positive social experiences. Objective 3. Manage and increase the resources of the Fraternity including undergraduate membership, alumni involvement, assets, revenues, communications, and technology. PURPOSE OF PI-LAMBDA ZETA The main mission and objectives of Lambda Chi Alpha at St. Louis College of Pharmacy is to “To foster a spirit of genuine brotherhood among its members…” and to “To make good men great, great men excellent, and excellent men even better…” We feel that only through service to his fellow man can one actually know what it is to give of himself and to feel humbled by helping those that have less than he does. Our biggest philanthropic event of the year is the North American Food Drive. We believe that no one should have to go to bed hungry, and no mother should have to wonder what she is going to feed her children the next day. That thought is what drives us throughout the year to make each year’s food drive more successful than the year before. While we know there are more “hungry mouths” in the St. Louis area than one chapter could ever hope to feed, it is our driving thought that by helping those that we can, and making as big of an issue as possible about our cause, we can increase awareness about hunger in St. Louis and perhaps the entire country. By doing so, we hope that one day, albeit far in the future, we, as a society, can eradicate hunger from the entire world.

Standard Adding Machine Company was founded in the early 1900s and was the first company to release a 10-key adding machine. The machine was a breakthrough for its time because it dramatically modernized computing. Earlier key driven adding machines, like the comptometer, featured eight or more columns of nine keys, which made them cumbersome and costly and their operators prone to mistakes. The 10 keys were set on a single row.The invention won an international grand prize during the 1904 World's Fair and was heralded as a "modern life preserver" in an office journal.HistoryWilliam H. Hopkins, the inventor of the Standard Adding Machine, was a minister. When he moved to St. Louis in 1885 he served as chaplain and then pastor of St. Louis Second Christian Church. He continued to invent during those years and to find better ways to make an adding machine. In the 1890s, he left Second Christian Church and became assistant editor of the company that published The Christian Evangelist.The Standard Adding Machine Company released the first 10-key adding machine in between 1901 and 1903. William Hopkins filed his first patent on October 4, 1892. Hopkins' success led to competition. By 1915, other adding machine companies were vying for business. In 1916, Hopkins died, and his company began to decline.Standard Adding Machine closed in 1921. In the decades since, the building housed businesses such as St. Louis Pump & Equipment Co., Lee Paper Co., and most recently, Harrison-Williams Store Fixtures. Vacant since 2003, the building was renovated in 2005 by Aquinas Institute of Theology.RecognitionBecause of the historical significance of the adding machine, the Standard Adding Machine building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
