He was the pastor of the old St Elizabeth's Church, 2721 Pine Street, St Louis - the pioneer church for African-Americans - from about 1919 to 1935. Your comment makes me curious if this could have been Fr John DeVilbiss S.J. The only way we know that he is buried here is from his death certificate indicating it.<br />FamilyDevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658300265525002479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-30246200268362231082022-12-04T13:38:46.459-06:002022-12-04T13:38:46.459-06:00the architecture of st vincent de paul church is n...the architecture of st vincent de paul church is not neoclassical, it's neo-romanesque.canamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602541357947739456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437006.post-54311296719475208502022-09-15T08:53:05.150-05:002022-09-15T08:53:05.150-05:00Dates are wrong.

They tried but it refused to budge. They inspected it and said there was not one spec of dust and it was as clean as it was the day they got it.

The old St. Joseph's church was very similar and it was heartbreaking to see it torn down for a modern version. Thankfully, we still have Sacred Heart and its variety of masses.

I was a member of the Croatian Junior tampereitson's there and played danced and sang Yugoslavian music. I was baptized there and I sang on the choir every morning including Saturday and Sunday. I went to grade school there. I was trying to find something out because I had a debate with someone on Facebook. There is a girl that lives across the street from there and she insist that the nuns lived in the convent until about 3 years ago. I left there in seventh grade because my parents moved and it was too far to walk. Anyway, I know that that school closed down not even a few years after I left and the nuns didn't stay much longer after that and she insisted that the nuns have lived there all this time up until 3 years ago. I cannot find any information on this. I know for more than 10 years the school and the convent has been sold to a private business by the archdiocese. If you could come up with any information on this I would greatly appreciate it.
