South City Deanery Church Closings...Updated

A sigh of relief settled over parishioners at St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic church. The Archdiocese of St. Louis recommended the parish remain open, but many parishioners pointed out that not everyone will be so lucky.

The task force has recommended closing St. Mary of Victories, 744 S. Third St., and St. John Nepomuk, 1625 S. 11th St.

St. Agatha, 3239 S. 9th St., where Latin Masses are now celebrated will be closed and the parish merged with St. Francis de Sales, 2653 Ohio Ave.
But the Latin Mass will continue, from all accounts I have heard. Let me stress that, as far as I know, no official word to that effect has been issued.
