Welcome to St. Gregory's
St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church in the corner of Northwest Missouri extends its greetings to you! We appreciate that you have chosen to give us the opportunity to introduce ourselves and show you just a little about our community of faith.
You will see in our website that we are a strong, vibrant Catholic faith community who seeks to bring to others the message of Christ’s redeeming love. We are committed to teaching and growing always stronger in our faith and serve not just our own, but the entire Maryville, Missouri area. By virtue of our Baptisms, we are called to love after the pattern of Jesus.
Our roots go back over 150 years; a heritage both German and Irish that we are proud of and we continue to grow to meet the challenge of the modern, technological age with fervor and love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

Parish Prayer
Lord, help us to grow in our mission of faith, love, and support of one another on our journey to you. May we draw strength from the wisdom of our elders, the enthusiasm of our youth, and the example of the faithful.
Help us to grow in faith by sharing in the joys and sorrows, the successes and failures of all whose lives we share.
Help us to acknowledge our collective responsibility for the stewardship and sharing of our resources of time, talents, and treasures.
We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

Our Roots
-
St. Mary’s and St. Patrick's
St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church draws its roots from the first settlements in northwest Missouri and the traditions of both Saint Mary’s (German) and Saint Patrick’s (Irish). Our parishioners are committed to maintaining quality educational opportunities for the youth of Maryville, providing a beautiful place for worship, and continued stewardship and involvement of the community.
Although the physical aspects, the brick, mortar, and shingles, of any organization are meaningful, of more importance is the stewardship of those members who continue the traditions of involvement, caring, and giving.The leaders and parishioners of St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church have shown their community involvement through the Mount Alverno Academy, working with students at the university, and volunteer work at the hospital. Other examples of community impact through parish organizations include the Knights of Columbus, Rural Life Initiatives, Tri-County Pro-Life Activists, Friendly Neighbors, not to mention the Parish Council, School Board, P.T.O., Altar Society and Circle, and the Finance, Building, and Grounds committees.
