About Old St. Ferdinand's Shrine
11 saints have lived in the United States. Old St. Ferdinand Shrine was home to St. Rose Philippine Duchesne. Mother Duchesne brought Catholic education to St. Louis and the surrounding area. We in St. Louis and St. Charles are fortunate that Mother Duchesne called us her home for over 14 years. Our goal is to preserve her home for future generations to enjoy.
Old St. Ferdinand Shrine is on the National Registry of Historic Places and is managed by the nonprofit, Friends of Old St. Ferdinand Shrine. Through fundraising and donations from the community, we continue to maintain the 200+ year old campus.
Our volunteers provide tours, assist in restoring the campus, and create event spaces for the community.
Our mission is to recognize the historical, architectural, and religious significance of Old St. Ferdinand Shrine and adjoining buildings, we are committed to their restoration, preservation, and maintaining their structural integrity.
