The Archdiocese of St. Louis (Latin: Archidiœcesis Sancti Ludovici) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory, or archdiocese, of the Catholic Church in the eastern part of the U.S. state of Missouri.

As of November 2024, the archdiocese is led by Archbishop Mitchell Thomas Rozanski, formerly the Bishop of Springfield in Massachusetts.[2] The archdiocesan cathedral is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis in St. Louis.

Structure

[edit]

The Archdiocese of St. Louis covers the City of St. Louis and the Missouri counties of Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, Perry, Saint Charles, Saint Francois, Ste. Genevieve, St. Louis, Warren, and Washington. It is the metropolitan see of the ecclesiastical province containing three suffragan sees:

History

[edit]

1600 to 1800

[edit]

The first Catholic presence in present-day Missouri was that of the Jesuit missionary Reverend Jacques Marquette in 1673, who stopped in Perry County while voyaging down the Mississippi River. [4] In 1759, French-Canadian settlers established St. Genevieve, the first parish in the archdiocese, in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.[5] During this period, the Catholics in the region were under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of San Cristobal de la Habana, based in Havana, Cuba.[3] With the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, Spain took control of the French territories west of the Mississippi River.

In 1793, after the American Revolution, Pope Pius VI erected the Diocese of Louisiana and the Two Floridas, based in New Orleans. It encompassed all the Spanish territories on the continent, including the Missouri area. Due to politics in Europe, the new diocese did not receive a bishop until 1815.[6]

1800 to 1826

[edit]

In 1803, with the signing of the Louisiana Purchase, the United States took control from France of a vast area of the continent, including Missouri. Pope Pius VII in 1815 named Reverend Louis Dubourg from the Diocese of Baltimore as the first bishop of Louisiana and the Two Floridas.[5] Due to concerns about his personal safety in New Orleans, Dubourg chose the City of St. Louis as his episcopal see. He founded St.Louis Parish, the first parish in the city.[7][8]

Wanting to train American priests for his vast diocese, DuBourg established St. Mary's of the Barrens Seminary in Perryville in 1818,[7] placing it under the charge of the Lazarist fathers.[9] In August 1818, he recruited Sister Rose Philippine Duchesne from the Society of the Sacred Heart in France, to open girls schools in the diocese.[10][7] Duchesne founded the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Charles, the first free school west of the Mississippi River, along with another girls school in Florissant.[11][12] DuBourg also invited the Sisters of Loretto to establish a school for girls.[13]In 1818, DuBourg founded the Saint Louis Academy, later known as Saint Louis College, to educate Catholic laymen.[14] In 1823, at DuBourg's invitation, the Society of Jesus sent several Belgian priests to Florissant, where they began ministering to Native American converts.[15][16]

In 1824, Pope Leo XII appointed Bishop Joseph Rosati as coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana and the Two Floridas. After Rosati's appointment, Dubourg moved his episcopal see back to New Orleans, leaving Rosati in control of St. Louis.[17]

1826 to 1847

[edit]
Bishop Rosati

On July 18, 1826, Pope Leo XII divided the Diocese of Louisiana and the Two Floridas. One of the new dioceses was the Diocese of St. Louis, which included Missouri along with vast areas of the American Midwest and Great Plains.[3] Because of its size, the diocese was often referred to as the Rome of the West.[18] Leo XII named Rosati as the first bishop of St. Louis.[17]

In 1827, Rosati transferred Saint Louis College to the Jesuits.[19] [20][21] They converted the lower division of the college into St. Louis University High School.[22] The Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul opened Mullanphy Hospital in St. Louis in 1828.[23] The Jesuits established Saint Louis College as Saint Louis University in 1829. Rosati dedicated the Cathedral of St. Louis in 1834, making it the first Catholic cathedral west of the Mississippi River.[24]

As Catholic communities started increasing outside of St. Louis, the Vatican erected new dioceses from the Diocese of St. Louis. In 1837, Pope Gregory XVI erected the Diocese of Dubuque, covering the present-day states of Iowa, Minnesota, and the Dakotas.[3] The same pope appointed Reverend Peter Kenrick as coadjutor bishop in St. Louis to assist Rosati in 1841.[25] When Kenrick became coadjutor bishop, the diocese was heavily in debt due to the $90,000 cost of the new cathedral.[26] With Rosati's assistance, the diocese received financial aid from Catholic organizations in Europe. Kenrick's brother Francis Kenrick, bishop of the Diocese of Philadelphia, also provided the diocese with assistance.[26]

In early 1843, the Vatican took more territory from St. Louis to found the Diocese of Little Rock in Arkansas and the Diocese of Chicago in Illinois.[3] After Rosati died in Rome in late 1843, Kenrick automatically succeeded him as bishop of St. Louis.

After receiving a $300,000 bequest, Kenrick was able to stabilize the diocesan finances through some shrewd real estate dealings. He took many trips by horseback throughout the diocese, reaching Catholics who did not have priests serving their communities.[27] In St. Louis, Kenrick instructed the cathedral priests to celebrate masses in English instead of French, as most of the congregation was now English-speaking.[26]

1847 to 1900

[edit]
Archbishop Kenrick

Pope Pius IX elevated the Diocese of St. Louis to the Archdiocese of St. Louis on July 20, 1847, naming Kenrick as its first archbishop.[3] By 1850, the archdiocese was operating ten parishes in the City of St. Louis.[5]

During the American Civil War, Kenrick maintained a neutral position in a strongly divided Missouri. After the war, he urged his priests to refuse to take the ironclad oath to the United States Government. The oath was a tactic promoted by Republicans to block former officials of the Confederacy from holding influential positions in society. Reverend John A. Cummings challenged the legality of the oath in a case that reached the United States Supreme Court. It later ruled that the government could not force individuals to take the oath.

In May 1893, Pope Leo XIII appointed Bishop John Kain from the Diocese of Wheeling as coadjutor archbishop to assist Kenrick. When Kenrick died in June 1895, Kain automatically succeeded him as archbishop.[28] During his tenure as archbishop, Kain purchased property in St. Louis for a new cathedral. However, a tornado in the archdiocese depleted its funds, delaying the start of its construction.[29]

1900 to 1950

[edit]
Archbishop Glennon

Pope Pius X named Coadjutor Bishop John J. Glennon from the Diocese of Kansas City to serve as coadjutor archbishop of St. Louis in 1903 to assist the ailing Kain. When Kain died in October 1903, Glennon automatically succeeded him as archbishop.[30] He opened the new Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis in 1915, followed by the minor seminary in Shrewsbury.[31]

During the early 1940s, many local Jesuit priests challenged the segregationist policies at the St. Louis Catholic schools. In 1943, Glennon blocked a young African-American woman from enrolling at Webster College. When some priests confronted Glennon about this, he called the integration plan a "Jesuit ploy". He transferred one of the complaining priests from an African-American parish. Saint Louis University began admitting African American students in the summer of 1943 after its president, Reverend Patrick Holloran, gained Glennon's approval.[32] Glennon died in 1946.

Pope Pius XII appointed Archbishop Joseph Ritter of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis as the fourth archbishop of St. Louis in 1946.[33] The archdiocese grew quickly during the post-World War II economic boom. Ritter opened an average of three parishes per year in St. Louis city and county.[34] He raised more than $125,000,000 (equivalent to $1,244,021,739 in 2023[35]) to build 60 new parishes and 16 high schools.

As one of his first acts as archbishop, Ritter announced that Webster College would now accept African-American students.[36] In 1947, Ritter also allowed the senior class of St. Joseph's High School, then the city's only African-American Catholic high school, to celebrate graduation for the first time at the cathedral, alongside white students.[37]

On August 9, 1947, Ritter announced an end to racial segregation in the archdiocesan high schools.[38][39] He declared, "The cross on top of our schools must mean something," and expressed his belief in "the equality of every soul before Almighty God".[40] The Catholic Parents Association of Saint Louis and Saint Louis County, a group of white parents, threatened to sue Ritter, stating that his desegregation order violated Missouri state law.[41][42] [43] Ritter then issued a pastoral letter, warning about possible excommunication for Catholics "interfering with ecclesiastical office authority by having recourse to authority outside of the church".[44] Ritter later ordered all the parish schools to "accept all children into parish schools without regard to race".[37] Ritter also desegregated all Catholic hospitals in the archdiocese.[45]

Ritter started fundraising for the Cardinal Glennon Memorial Hospital for Children in St. Louis in 1949.[46] Ritter also developed what is now known as the Annual Catholic Appeal, which remains a primary source of financial support for many archdiocesan educational and charitable activities.[34]

1950 to 1980

[edit]
Cardinal Carberry

In 1950, Ritter created 31 classrooms for special needs students in archdiocesan schools and two group homes.[47] In 1956, he established a mission in La Paz, Bolivia, one of the first foreign missions sponsored by an American diocese.[47] Until that time, religious institutes or societies of apostolic life had run most foreign missions. Parishioners in the archdiocese regularly contributed more money to foreign missions than any other comparable archdiocese.[48] In 1964, following reforms of the Second Vatican Council, Ritter celebrated the world's first authorized mass in English at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis.[49] Ritter died in 1967.

On February 14, 1968, Pope Paul VI named Bishop John Carberry of the Diocese of Columbus as the fifth archbishop of St. Louis.[50] In 1969, Carberry removed 60 seminarians from a class at the Saint Louis University Divinity School because a Presbyterian scholar was teaching a segment on Pauls' epistles.[51][52]

In 1971, Carberry closed McBride High school in North St. Louis, a largely black area. He was criticized for closing the school while subsidizing a swimming pool at John F. Kennedy High School in Manchester, a wealthy white suburb.[53][54] Carberry moved his own residence from the episcopal residence in St. Louis to suburban Creve Coeur. In 1972, he established the Urban Services Apostolate for inner-city parishes.[55] Carberry initially opposed the reception of communion by hand, another Second Vatican Council reform. He believed that it was irreverent and risked the possibility of recipients stealing hosts to use at black masses.[56] However, he finally permitted this practice in 1977.[57] That same year, he ordained the first permanent deacons in the archdiocese.[58] Carberry retired in 1979.

1980 to 1990

[edit]

On January 24, 1980, Bishop; John L. May from the Diocese of Mobile was appointed the sixth archbishop of St. Louis by Pope John Paul II.[59] During his 12-year tenure, May encouraged an active dialogue between Christians of all denominations. He ordained Reverend J. Terry Steib as the first African American auxiliary bishop in the archdiocese.[60] May also appointed the archdiocese's first chief financial officer and the first woman to serve as superintendent of Catholic schools.[60] He started a self-insurance program in the archdiocese and improved the retirement program for lay employees.[60]

An advocate for the poor and homeless, May greatly expanded the programs of Catholic Charities, and initiated a program for pregnant women.[60] Due to a decline in the number of seminarians, May was forced to consolidate the archdiocesan seminary system. In 1987, he merged Cardinal Glennon College and Kenrick Seminary to form Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in Shrewsbury.[60]

1990 to 2000

[edit]
Cardinal Rigali

In 1990, with Sister Mary Ann Eckhoff and businessman Robert A. Brooks, May co-founded the Today and Tomorrow Educational Foundation.[61] Due to health reasons, May retired in 1992.

In 1994, John Paul II named Bishop Justin Rigali from the Roman Curia as the seventh archbishop of St. Louis.[62] During his tenure at St. Louis, Rigali visited every Catholic high school in the archdiocese.[63] However, Rigali opposed collective bargaining by teachers and their efforts to unionize. Rigali was widely credited as an able administrator and effective fundraiser, although observers said that his popularity dimmed as his tenure continued.[63]

In January 1999, Rigali hosted the visit of John Paul II to St. Louis.[63] The pope reportedly decided to visit the archdiocese because of his longtime close friendship with Rigali in Rome.[63] According to the St. Louis Business Journal, Rigali "brought financial stability to the St. Louis Archdiocese, overseeing successful capital campaigns to address immediate needs and raising endowment funds for the future."[64]

2000 to 2010

[edit]
Cardinal Burke

In 2003, Rigali was appointed archbishop of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. To replace him, John Paul II that same year named Bishop Raymond Burke from the Diocese of La Crosse as the next archbishop of St. Louis.[65][66][67] Burke invited the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP), a traditionalist Catholic order, into the archdiocese. He ordained two ICKSP priests in 2007, marking the first use in 40 years of the Tridentine rite of ordination in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.[68]

During his tenure, Burke escalated a long-running dispute over the closing of St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in St. Louis. In 2005, its pastor, Reverend Marek Bozek, led a Christmas Eve mass at the church, despite the archdiocese having closed it. Burke then "declare[d] that the church was in 'schism'", and excommunicated Bozek and the church lay board.[69] The church then broke away from the archdiocese and sued it for ownership of its assets. In 2012, a court awarded the assets to St. Stanislaus.[69]

In 2006, when voters approved an amendment to the Missouri State Constitution permitting embryonic stem cell research, Burke said it meant that "our tiniest brothers and sisters ... will be made legally the subjects, the slaves, of those who wish to manipulate and destroy their lives for the sake of supposed scientific and technological progress."[70] In 2008, the Vatican named Burke as prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome.

Pope Benedict XVI named Bishop Robert Carlson from the Diocese of Saginaw as the ninth archbishop of St. Louis on April 21, 2009.[71][72]

2010 to present

[edit]

In 2014, after trying to reconcile with the St. Stanislaus Kostka board and parishioners, Carlson surrendered its property claims to the church. As part of the agreement, the church administration agreed not to claim any affiliation with the Catholic Church.[73][74][75]

In response to the 2018 grand jury report concerning clerical sexual abuse in Pennsylvania, Carlson invited the Missouri attorney general's office to inspect the archdiocesan files and to produce a report on clerical abuse in Missouri.[76] Carlson retired in 2020.

To replace Carlson, Pope Francis named Bishop Mitchell T. Rozanski from Springfield in Massachusetts as the next archbishop of St. Louis. In 2022, the archdiocese ended its participation in the National School Lunch Program, established in 1946 to provide lunch to poor students, stating that it did not want to comply with regulations under the Civil Rights Act. [77][78] The archdiocese stated that it would start its own free lunch program.[79]

In May 2023, Rozanski announced All Things New, a plan to reduce the number of parishes in the archdiocese from 178 to 134 with closures and mergers.[80] Seven parishes filed appeals of the closures in August 2023 with the Dicastery for the Clergy in Rome, which decided to accept appeals from two parishes.[81] The Dicastery in June 2024 rejected the two appeals.[82].[83] Rozanski noted;

"The church experience in our parishes today is not the same as it was 50 years ago, yet we are still functioning in many ways out of the same mode of evangelization with the same structures. We have inherited a great treasure of Catholic institutions from previous generations, but many of them are no longer as effective or sustainable as they once were.”[83]

In June 1924, the archdiocese released its report "Slavery in the Historic Archdiocese of St. Louis". It identified 70 enslaved people who had been owned by Bishop Dubourg, Bishop Rosati and diocesan clergy prior to the end of the American Civil War.[84]

Sexual abuse

[edit]

In 2004, the Archdiocese of St. Louis paid $1.7 million to settle sexual abuse claims.[85]

In 2018, Archbishop Carlson testified in court that he was unsure whether he knew in the 1980s that sexual assault of a minor was a crime. He also stated that he did not know when he realized that fact.[86]

In July 2019, the archdiocese released the names of 64 clergy who were credibly accused of committing acts of sexual abuse.[87][88] On August 16, 2019, the "sexually violent priest" Reverend Frederick Lenczycki, who had served prison time in Illinois between 2004 and 2009 for acts of sexual abuse,[89] was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a boy in St. Louis County.[87] In 2019, the Missouri Attorney General identified over 160 instances of archdiocesan priests and deacons sexually abusing minors.[90]

In June 2023, the archdiocese agreed to pay $1 million to settle a lawsuit by a man who alleged he was raped when an altar boy from fourth through sixth grade[85] by a since-defrocked priest who has been required to register as a sex offender.[91][85]

In July 2024, 25 former attendees of archdiocesan churches and schools sued the archdiocese, stating that its leadership knew about rampant incidents of sexual abuse. One former altar boy says he was sexually abused between 2008 and 2011 by Reverend William Vatterott, who was later convicted of possession of child pornography. Another plaintiff says he was caught wearing red socks, which were prohibited at Catholic summer camp, and was sent to a priest for discipline. The priest abused the child, then told him he would "burn in hell for all eternity" unless he kept the abuse secret. A woman said that in 1999, when she was age nine, she was abused by Reverend James Grady and a nun called "Sister Annette".[92]

Cathedral of Saint Louis

[edit]

The Cathedral of Saint Louis was dedicated to King Louis IX of France. Its co-patrons are Reverend Vincent de Paul and Sister Rose Philippine Duchesne.[93]The cathedral contains the largest collection of mosaics in the world.[94] It was dedicated in 1926 on the 100th anniversary of the establishment of St. Louis as a diocese, and was started by Archbishop Glennon and completed by Archbishop May. Work on the cathedral mosaics would not be completed for 60 years. The Vatican designated the Cathedral of St. Louis as a basilica in 1997 on the 150th anniversary of the archdiocese.[5]
