Catholic Priests in St. Louis County*, 1841–1869
A – H

Compiled from lists in the Official Catholic Directory
[Directories were not available for the years 1842–1843, 1845, and 1862–1863.]

This list, arranged in alphabetical order by surname of the priest, shows the parish where he served and the years at that parish. With this list, a crossover can be made from a civil marriage record to the church marriage record which often contains more family information. Special Collections has the Catholic Archdiocesan Parish Record microfilms (242 rolls) in film cabinet drawers 2-5 and this table can help determine the parish to search. Consult the Guide to St. Louis Catholic Archdiocesan Parish Records on the finding aid table to determine the desired film roll and item numbers needed.

If the church for a priest is listed as "Jesuit" with no specific parish, it is recommended that you search the microfilmed records of parishes in St. Louis commonly served by the Jesuits, e.g. St. Anne, St. Ferdinand, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Joseph, Shrine of (German). 

* Note to Researchers: In the 1841–1869 time period, St. Louis County still included the city of St. Louis. It was not until 1876 that the city of St. Louis voted to become an independent city, thus becoming totally separate from St. Louis County.
