WHAT'S HAPPENING AT OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

 
Our Lady of Guadalupe was established in 1954. Father Francis Kelly was the founding pastor. The Archdiocese of St. Louis brought the property from the Franciscan Sisters, who are intimately connected with the history of the parish.

The older parishioners (not in age but in years of residence) gratefully remember that for a year and a half the Sisters shared their chapel with them. This instant church made it possible to begin functioning immediately.

The church building and eight classrooms were completed in the autumn of 1955. We should say they were almost completed for the school was opened with unfinished floors and temporary heating. Such inconveniences served only to cement the spirit of the parish.

Eight more classrooms were added in 1959. The Convent was built in 1961. The present Rectory at 17 Hawkesbury Drive was formerly the convent. In 1969, additional property was bought from the Franciscan Sisters to complete the Athletic Field.

There have been eight pastors: Father Francis Kelly, Father Ralph Zimmer, Father John Geoghgan, Father John Klocker, Monsignor Jack Schuler, Father Jim Foster and Father John-Paul Hopping.

The name of our parish recalls the well known apparition of our Blessed Mother on December 12, 1531 in Mexico to Juan Diego. When the Bishop of Mexico City asked for a sign that the apparition was authentic, Juan Diego was told to bring the roses he found blooming in winter. When he opened his tilma to display the flowers, the picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe was on his cloak. This picture of the Virgin Mary can be seen at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
 
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
We, the community of Our Lady of Guadalupe, are called to partake in the mission of the universal church as well as in the mission of Our Lady of Guadalup. The story of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Tepeyac inspires us to be a church that offers acceptance and hope to peoples of all cultures and economic backgrounds.

We seek to make the Eucharistic presence of Jesus Christ manifest in our community. Our mission will be fulfilled as we practice social justice, share our gifts and participate in the responsibility of our Baptismal call.
