“The only authenticated miracle in the Midwest”

This beautiful old church, at the corner of 11th Street and Biddle in St. Louis, Missouri has a vast and interesting history. The church had its beginning in 1843. The Jesuits founded the parish to serve a pleasant residential community consisting mostly of German immigrants. Also, the church is the site of the only authenticated miracle in the Midwest. Each statue, color and symbol within the Shrine’s walls teaches and inspires visitors. Take a tour and learn about the Shrine’s fascinating history and why the main altar is called "The Altar of Answered Prayers".

Don’t go into St. Louis unarmed. Born there 60+ years ago. Be safe

BEAUTIFUL church. We stayed in St. Louis and stopped right before heading out in the morning, which happened to be 20 minutes before the 11am service. Would have stayed longer and asked about the history but didn't want to disturb those attending. Worth the stop.

The church is beautiful. It’s now located in the center of a neighborhood. I wasn’t able to go inside due to COVID, but I was able to get some photos. I spoke to a couple of the locals walking by. They really didn’t know the significance of the church or the history.
