| St. John the Baptist College Prep High School. 5021 Adkins Avenue Saint Louis, MO |

| St. Henry, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Church and School. 304 East Court Street, Charleston, Missouri At Matthews and Court Streets In 1922 the Ursuline Sisters, who had labored here so successfully for thirty-three years, withdrew from St. Henry's. Father Petri succeeded in keeping the school functioning, heading the school himself while employing three lay teachers: Miss Helen Test (who would later become Sister Mary Stella, C.PP.S.), Miss Leta Newcum (later Mrs. Leta Hunt), and Miss Dora Beauregard. Four years later, Father Petri received word that the Sisters of the Most Precious Blood of O'Fallon, Missouri, had accepted Charleston as one of their teaching missions. Mother Wilhelmine sent a group of Sisters to Charleston, and appointed Sister M. Xavier as the first Superior and Principal. The enrollment that year reached a total of 167 pupils. |
| Charleston, Missouri. Located in the Heartland, just above the Bootheel, Charleston is home to 5000 (give or take a few). It lays in Mississippi County, just a few miles from the "Mighty" Mississippi River. The first settlers of Texas Bend near the northern boundary of Mississippi County, were German Catholics from the vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio. |
| St Joseph's Church 1723 S 17th St Omaha, NE The Nebraska Territory was thrown open to white settlers in 1854. For the Catholics among the pioneer settlers of Omaha City the first Mass was said in the court room of the old state house' by Rev. W. Edmonds, a German priest, coming from St. Joseph, Missouri, later stationed at Iowa City, Iowa. The date of the first Mass was May 14, or 15, 1856. The acting governor Cuming donated a number of lots; but owing to threats uttered, since the lots were part of a park, we are told, the lots were abandoned and the first church named St. Mary's erected on the site donated by the Council Bluffs and Nebraska Ferry Company. Father George J. Glauber, in 1884 purchased a site for a new church for the Germans and Poles in the southern part of the city. The deed was made out in the name of Rev. George Glauber, Jacob Burkhard and John Schmitz, the two latter had been chosen trustees of the parish by the mass meeting of the people. The lots were on Center Street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets in Hartman's Addition. |
| The School of St. Peter 2500 Maine Street Quincy, Illinois 62301 The Church of St. Peter has been a home for Quincy area Catholics for over 165 years. Established in 1838 as St. Lawrence O’Toole parish, the cornerstone of the first parish church was laid in June of 1839. In the years that followed, a parish school (1863) and a new church (1870) was built at Eighth and Maine Streets. At this time, the parish received the name St. Peter’ s (under the patronage of St. Peter in Chains). The first St. Peter parish school was opened in 1861 by Reverend Peter McGirr. This school was located south of the church which was on 8th and Maine Streets. It was staffed by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and had an enrollment of 250 students. In 1921, the Sisters of the Most Precious Blood came to Quincy to staff St. Peter School, which was transferred to 11th and State Streets when Governor Wood’s property was purchased. Reverend John Driscoll was pastor at that time. In 1949, the present school building was built at 25th and Maine Street while Monsignor Thomas Cusack was pastor. This building was used as church and school until 1962. After the new church (the old church was destroyed by a tornado in 1945) was dedicated in January of 1962 with Reverend Joseph O’ Brien as pastor, the church section in the main building was converted into classrooms. At present, there are eleven classrooms in this building. There are three classrooms, a cafeteria, a meeting room and a kitchen in the lower level of the church building. The library, St. Peter Holy Childhood Pre-School, the EMH School, and the computer lab are located in Father Tolton Hall (the former convent). |

The city also serves as the county seat of Adams County. It lies on the bluffs along the Mississippi River about 100 miles north of Saint Louis and is the western most city in the state. Located between Keokuk, Iowa and Hannibal, Missouri, Quincy is the largest anchor city of the Quincy-Hannibal Micropolitan Area. Quincy has a strong connection to the 19th century river city nostalgia popularized by celebrated author Mark Twain's books and fictional characters "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn". |

In June of 1950, Cardinal Ritter (then Archbishop) announced the plans for the eighth archdiocesan high school, the largest in the system, to have an enrollment capacity of 1,600. Archbishop Ritter officiated at the groundbreaking ceremonies on May 18, 1952.
