St. Cronan Church

"A welcoming community with a great coffee and donut gathering after the 10 am Sunday service. Many ways to contribute to the community such as Dorothy’s food pick up and delivery to those in need."

"This Parish is aligned w/ Amanda Gorman and has brought her into the Mass. Check out the Mass on the 3rd Sunday of Advent on their Facebook page. And then Google Amanda Gorman's stance on Abortion and Feminism."

"Amazing church, I grew up in this parish and it, Father Jack, & Father Jerry have deeply influenced my moral standards and my commitment to social justice. If you want a Church that practices what it preaches in terms of ministry to the disadvantaged, inclusivity, and a welcoming atmosphere, St Cronan’s is the best church in the Saint Louis region."

"We were married in a beautiful ceremony at St. Cronan's church in September. At the time of our engagement, we did not belong to a parish and did not feel any particular connection to the parishes we grew up in. After reading about how welcoming the people of St. Cronan are, as well as their commitment to social justice, we attended Mass and saw it firsthand. The St. Cronan community is truly unique and incredible. I cannot speak highly enough about Fr. Jack Schuler, who conducted our premarital counseling, and Diane, who handled ceremony logistics. They were so easy to work with, very organized, and so generous with their time & energy, ensuring a successful ceremony. David Dickey did a wonderful job with our music, and Fr. Gerry Kleba graciously stepped in as presider when Fr. Jack fell ill the day before. We feel so lucky to have discovered such a fantastic Church in the STL area, and the whole experience was absolutely perfect. Thank you St. Cronan!"
