Before the establishment of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, or the City of St. Louis, or the United States of America, Ste. Genevieve Parish was serving Catholics in Ste. Genevieve. Located about 45 miles south of St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve is believed to be the oldest parish in the St. Louis Archdiocese and the first in the Upper Mississippi territory. It began under French and then Spanish rule before the area became part of the United States. This year, Ste. Genevieve Parish is celebrating its 250th anniversary.
