This parish was closed in 2001[1] due to planned expansion of St. Louis Lambert Airport.
The Jesuits (SJ) ran the parish from its origin through the erection of the new church, school, and rectory that were built in 1954.
This later became known as St. Thomas Aquinas-Mercy after merging with Mercy High School in University City in September 1985.
Many girls were accepted to Incarnate Word Academy in Normandy, Missouri, and boys were accepted to Christian Brothers College in Clayton, De Smet Jesuit High School in Creve Coeur, and St. Louis University High in the City of St. Louis.
Due to a declining number of Catholics in the northwest deanery and airport expansion, several parishes have combined.
Holy Spirit is located at the former St. Blaise Parish on Parkwood Lane in Maryland Heights.
