Immaculate Conception Church Time Capsule
Before the demolition of the Immaculate Conception Church began, a time capsule was discovered under the cornerstone on August 18th. We are truly blessed that the pastors and parishioners from 130 years ago had the foresight to leave a message for future generations. Inside the capsule were three full newspapers—two printed in German—along with a collection of coins. After the St. Louis Archdiocese Archives Department finished recording and preserving these items, we are finally able to share them with the parish. Please enjoy exploring these remarkable pieces of our parish’s history.
