St. Louis Archdiocese’s reorganization will close more than 30 parishes

Many of the parish closures are in north St. Louis city and county, reflecting the geographic shift of Catholics westward.

The Archbishop of St. Louis will close 34 parishes and one mission and reassign 155 priests in the most sweeping reorganization of the Catholic church in St. Louis history.

After 18 months of waiting, Catholics learned on Saturday the fate of their priests and parishes in the downsizing of the archdiocese called “All Things New.”
