DETAILS: Our first stop will be at the original Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis the King. This is the very first Catholic Church west of the Mississippi in the United States! It is at the foot of the St. Louis Arch. We will celebrate a private Mass there. We will then visit the Shrine of St. Joseph, which is home to the “altar of miracles.”
Thursday morning we will again celebrate our own private Mass at the beautiful Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. No words can describe the beauty and grandeur of this church! Lastly, we will visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, IL. Spend some quiet time with Our Lord as you wander throughout the beautiful grounds in prayer. Visit the amazing gift shop and take part in a tour of the Shrine.
