FSOLPH 125th Jubilee Celebration. Mass is open to all. RSVP for reception.

Register today to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

On May 29, 1901, three valiant women of vision dared to step into the 20th century by founding a new American Congregation of Catholic Sisters located in the heart of the Midwest, St Louis, MO. Join the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in prayer at a special Mass to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of their Foundation Day to be held May 29, 2026. A reservation-only reception will follow immediately. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER IF YOU PLAN TO ONLY ATTEND THE MASS.

All are welcome to attend the Jubilee Mass to be celebrated by the Most Reverend Mitchell T Rozanski, Archbishop of St Louis, at St Justin Martyr Parish, 11910 Eddie & Park Rd, St Louis, MO, 63126, on Friday, May 29th at 6:30 in the evening. All are also invited to register to attend the reception across the parking lot at the parish school gymnasium, but space is limited. Everyone attending must be registered via the Sisters’ website by Noon on Thursday, April 30th. Registrations are accepted first come, first served until the tables are filled. Light refreshments will be provided.

To register to attend the reception, scroll down to “Book Event” and add the number attending. Click the small aqua “next” button to proceed to the sign up page where you will add your contact information and click “submit.” (We do ask that you please sign up with all contact information, so that we can contact you if there are any questions. This also allows us to send you an email reminder one day and one hour before the celebration.) If you do register and need to cancel, please call (314) 965-3700 to cancel reservations so someone else may have the seat.

Upon registration, you will receive an email response. Please save/flag/print the email response, so you can find it back. The Mass begins at 6:30 pm, but out of respect for the Archbishop, we ask that everyone plan to arrive by at least 6:20 in case there are difficulties finding a parking spot or there is a line at the door. We will try to send email reminders one day and one hour before the event. We have heard, however, that sometimes these do not go through, so we encourage you to save the initial response.

There is no cost involved with the celebration. Free-will donations or memorials for our deceased Sisters will be graciously accepted at the reception or may be made through this website, www.fsolph.org/donate. Cards may be mailed to Tau Center, Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 335 S Kirkwood Rd, St Louis, MO, 63122.
