St. Alphonsus Liguori "Rock" Catholic Church

About this church

St. Alphonsus Liguori "Rock" Catholic Church in St. Louis, Missouri, is a Redemptorist parish that has served North St. Louis since 1867. Sunday Mass is at 10 a.m., and daily Mass is celebrated at 9 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The parish describes its liturgies as reflecting African-American worship traditions, with two gospel choirs leading the music. Worship takes place in a Gothic Revival church with stained glass dating to the 1904 World's Fair and a historic pipe organ, a setting the parish presents as part of its identity.

On Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. the parish holds its weekly Mother of Perpetual Help devotion and Mass. The parish says this weekly novena, begun there in 1922, was the first of its kind in the United States and is now prayed in many countries. As a Redemptorist community, the parish says it keeps a particular focus on serving people it calls the most abandoned. The parish office is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Sundays after Mass until 1 p.m., and it is closed Mondays and Saturdays. The church is at 1118 North Grand Boulevard, and the website carries a bulletin, upcoming events, and a live worship page for those who cannot attend in person. Confirm Mass times on the website before visiting, as schedules can change.
