TLM Church Needs Our Help
Classic Steeple May Collapse

The 300-foot steeple of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Oratory is pulling away from the building damaging the roof and stained glass windows. Experts say the steeple foundation needs piering at a cost of a million dollars.

The rector at the Oratory, Father Karl Lenhardt, is also worried what damage water might do to the interior if rain and snow are allowed to seep in.

Those of us who love the traditional Latin Mass, especially in Catholic churches that look like churches (and have been spared ”wreckovation” on the inside), should help save this beautiful old church of our TLM brethren.

The church, in St. Louis City, is currently home to 700 to 800 TLM worshippers. Some congregants come from out of state to worship there.

Anyone interested in helping should mail their check to Fr. Lenhardt at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Oratory, 2653 Ohio Ave., St. Louis, MO 63118 or call 314-771-3100.
