A beautiful story from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch highlighting the life and ministry of the Redemptorists. Take a few minutes to read the story below!
Catholic numbers in St. Louis have been contracting for decades, and that's especially true on the north side of town.
The rough-cut stone walls and soaring Gothic steeple of the Rock, just north of the theaters and concert halls of Grand Center, have instead held an unlikely tale of growth.
Catholic tradition, a lively service, a warm family feeling — and a new charismatic pastor — have attracted parishioners from as far as an hour away. Average weekly attendance has risen by more than two-thirds in just a year.
