On the history of ST. CHARLES BORROMEO CATHOLIC CHURCH & PARISH
The St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Parish was established in 1903. It was located at 29th and Locust Streets in the city of St. Louis, Missouri.
The parish was made up of predominately Italian families, mostly Sicilian and Neopolitan. Meaning that the immigrants from Sicily and Naples Italy felt they were joining a community as well as becoming members of the church and parish.
As members of the parish many children would not only be baptized at St. Charles Borromeo, but would, as adults, marry there also. Interestingly, notations were added to some baptismal records of later marriages, even for those who married elsewhere, creating an ongoing family history as well as a religious and parish record.
The parish was closed in 1982 and it is said that the buildings were demolished when the parish closed.
