Deacon Stanley Peterson visits the St. Ann Shrine, which was installed at St. Nicholas Parish a month ago, after the closing of Visitation-St. Ann Parish. St. Nicholas, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, will host the next St. Louis Mass Mob Sunday, Oct. 9.

The sound of the organ, the smell of the incense and the sight of the priests' vestments prompted a young Lucinda Kaid to ask her parents to join the Catholic Church.
