Resurrection of Our Lord Parish
3900 Meramec Street, St. Louis - south City
Architect: Murphy & Mackey
1952

A late-comer to a streetcar neighborhood in the heart of south City. The church combines curved walls and green-blue tinted glass to beautiful effect. A domed skylight casts a cylinder of light into the sanctuary. The separate baptistry is illuminated in mute shades of blue by tinted glass.

Resurrection was closed ("suppressed" in church parlance) as of July 1 2005, and the parish folded into that of St. John the Baptist. The building is now in use by a Vietnamese Catholic congregation, who fill the church to overflowing on Sundays.
