Meet Me In St. Louis

St. Louis is my favorite city I’ve visited!

We visited the St. Francis De Sales Oratory, but the doors were locked. But, with a bit of boldness and a bit of fear, I walked up to the rectory door and rang the doorbell. The secretary answered and showed us through to the oratory. It was so worth it. What a beautiful house for the good God.

Saturday, we went to Mass at the Cathedral in St. Louis. It boasts stunning mosaics. After Mass, the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and with a huge crowd of 200 people, we processed to the only abortion business in Missouri just a few blocks away. The 6 Planned Parenthood escorts stared with amazement at the hundreds gathered, and you could see their courage waver. Death will not win, because Christ has conquered.

Outside of the Cathedral was an awesome cake. It’s the city’s 250th birthday, so they’ve set up 250 cakes around town that people can go on a scavenger hunt for. During our 3 short days there, we saw 10! Fun times.cake

Afterwards, we went to the St. Louis Arch! It is quite impressive.

Later that afternoon, I got to meet my great-uncle. He’s a wonderful man. Later that day, I spoke at a Lutheran service about Crossroads! The folks were so warm and supportive. It’s so exciting to see the pro-life movement cross faiths and beliefs.

And on Sunday, we headed to the City Museum. It’s like a giant jungle gym for adults and kids, complete with crawl space mazes and tunnels, climbing cages 5 stories up, and a 10-story slide! city museum 2 city museumAfterwards, we visited the Missionaries of Charity who gave us medals touched by Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

I seriously love this city.
