Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church

About this church

Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church is a St. Louis parish in the Marianist tradition, guided by a mission of proclaiming the Gospel and working for peace, justice, care for creation, and service. The parish’s “Strong in Faith and Rich in Works” motto reflects both prayer and action. Founded in 1938 from a chapel at Chaminade, OLP remains connected to the Society of Mary and supports a parish school, religious education, sacramental preparation, faith sharing, and community events.

The weekend schedule begins with Mass Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and the Sunday vigil at 5:00 p.m. Sunday Masses are celebrated at 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.; weekday Mass begins Monday through Friday at 7:30 a.m. The parish homepage also publishes a Wednesday Holy Hour: 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. during summer, changing to a 4:00 p.m. start on August 26, 2026. That date-specific transition is worth checking before a late-August visit. Parish and school use neighboring but different street numbers—401 South Lindbergh for the church and 403 for the school—so Mass visitors should use the church address. Current bulletins and the parish calendar provide the best source for holy days, reconciliation, funerals, and one-time celebrations that can alter ordinary access.
