As Catholics in the Archdiocese of St. Louis under the patronage of St. Joseph, in communion with the Holy Father and our archbishop, we are called by our Lord Jesus Christ to be His Church and live His Gospel. With joy, we strive to fulfill our Baptismal calling by fervent prayer and worship, sound teaching and sharing our faith, serving others and fostering unity in diversity. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to be responsible stewards of all God’s gifts.
