The former Chapel of Saints Mary and Joseph is more than just a building; it symbolizes the rich cultural and architectural history of our community in Saint Louis. Nestled in the historic Carondelet and Holly Hills neighborhoods, this chapel has stood as a gathering place for over 100 years.
As we launch an ambitious capital campaign to acquire, renovate, and sustain this cherished landmark, I am filled with hope and excitement for the future. This initiative is not just about preserving a structure; it’s about re-invigorating our community and creating a space that will serve present and future generations.
The Significance of the Chapel
The Chapel of Saints Mary and Joseph played a vital role in the Carondelet and Holly Hills neighborhoods, but unfortunately, like many historic buildings, it is being sold after years of neglect.
Our goal is to acquire and rejuvenate this historic chapel, ensuring it remains an active and vibrant part of our community. By acquiring and renovating the chapel, we aim to honor its significance while catering to the needs of today and tomorrow.

The Impact of Your Contribution
Every dollar you contribute will help cover costs related to the acquisition and renovation, including essential structural repairs, interior design, and the installation of modern amenities. Your support will help create a welcoming environment that fosters connections and cultural enrichment.
A Call to Action
Spread the word and invite others to this campaign - we are stronger together and our combined efforts will ensure this spiritual treasure is preserved.
Looking Ahead
The journey before us may have its challenges, but the potential rewards are immense. By uniting as a community of faith, we can ensure the former Chapel of Saints Mary and Joseph remains a source of spiritual inspiration for future generations.
Together, we can restore this historic treasure and create a vibrant community hub that truly represents our shared heritage.
Embracing Our Future
The capital campaign to acquire, renovate, and sustain the former Chapel of Saints Mary and Joseph is not merely a project; it represents a vital movement to preserve our history and enhance our community. I invite you to be part of this journey. Your support, whether through financial contributions or prayer, will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of this beloved landmark.
Let us come together to breathe new life into the chapel, ensuring it becomes a source of hope, connection, and cultural richness in Saint Louis for many years to come.
