This German congregation that had been gathering at the Jesuit's St. Louis University's St. Aloysius Chapel (at 9th and Washington), served by Father Helias D'Huddeghem, finally celebrated Mass in their new parish church of St. Joseph in 1846. Rev Cotting was the first pastor from 1841-45, followed by John Hofbauer (1847-51), Joseph Patchowski (1852-58), Joseph Weber (1860-70), Peter Tschieder (1871-76), Frederick Hagemann (1877-81), Lambert Etten (1882-95), Francis Vallazza (1896-1900). Although never pastor, Rev. Martin Seisl, S. J. was active from 1848-53. A new church was erected in 1865. By 1870 St. Joseph's was the largest parish in the city (nearly 1200 German Catholics). Parish closed in 1979, and it is now referred to as the Shrine of St. Joseph. It is located at 1220 North 11th St. at Biddle, (63106)
