Welcome to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

We’re an intergenerational community of Catholics, committed to living and worshiping in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

Visit us soon and we’ll introduce you to some of our friendly parishioners. Here, you’ll find a neighborhood parish, where you can deepen your devotion to Jesus Christ through the Mass and sacraments. You’ll discover the strength of our parish school and faith formation programs, and you’ll find many ways to connect with those who live and work in the area. 

Together, we’re reaching out in love and service to the larger community. We invite you to join us for Mass any day this week. Come, experience life inside the heart of Jesus!

Retired Priests Collection

The annual Archbishop’s Collection for Retired Priests is traditionally held on Easter Sunday. This is a beautiful opportunity for to honor the vibrant legacy of priests who have dedicated their lives to serve us.

Your support helps assure our priests receive the essential care they need, including physician services, hospitalization, nursing home care, vision care and disability, now and for years to come.

You can make your gift through the designated envelope, or any envelope marked Retired Priests, on or after Easter weekend. Online gifts are welcome year-round at archstl.org/retiredpriests.
