Holy Family-St. Louis City

Holy Family parish, at 4125 Humphrey St., was founded in 1898 to serve the needs of the German-speaking people in the Tower Grove Park area. It was formed out of parts of St. Anthony, St. Francis de Sales and St. Aloysius parishes. In November of 1926 the cor­nerstone was laid for the new church at Oak Hill and Humphrey Streets. It had a large grade school. As the Catholic population of south St. Louis declined it became necessary to reduce the number of parishes. In 2005, the parish of Holy Family was suppressed and the parishioners invited to become part of St. Pius V parish. The buildings were sold to Halo 2 LLC et al.
