Oral History Project:

Your Memories are Important
An oral history project continues as we assemble our parish archives.

Any parishioner or friend of St. Louis who has stories, recollections and personal memories of our parish is asked to be interviewed. Your participation in this project, no matter how big or small is important.

In particular, we would love to hear from those who attended St. Louis school. We respectfully request that former students of our school get in contact with Michael Riester
