We are the last remaining parish in the Archdiocese of St. Louis to operate our school with the stewardship model. As costs have increased in recent years and more parishes have turned to a tuition-based model to support their schools, our community remains committed to this philosophy. A strong sense of community and fellowship sets SJM apart, and it stems from this deep-rooted sense that we are all partners in a shared mission. To learn more about this core philosophy of our parish, please read more.
