This was a Spanish mission in south St. Louis. “Jesuit priests had established a mission to serve the Spanish Catholics who had been settling in the Carondelet area since the turn of the century. Beginning in 1912, they operated out of St. Columbkille's Parish, and then out of St. Boniface Parish . . . until . . . Our Lady of Covadonga, led by a priest from Mexico, was established . . . As the Spaniards assimilated into the greater community, the parish permanently closed . . .” –Carondelet Historical Society Newsletter, Vol. 27, No. 2, p. 7.
