IMMACOLATA PARISH was founded in 1945, and this church in the Modern style dates from 1967. It is located in the suburban Saint Louis County city of Richmond Heights, about 11 miles west of downtown.
Behind the altar is a mosaic of the flame of the Holy Spirit, made by the
Ravenna Mosaic Company. This photo was taken during Holy Week, and so the church was not decorated.
Stained glass window in the narthex has symbols including those of Baptism and the Holy Spirit.
In Christian art, ‘Immacolata’ refers to a kind of icon of the Virgin, also known as Our Lady of Grace.
