This week’s photos capture moments of celebration, community, service and reflection from across St. Louis. From faith and education to food, family and community leadership, our photographers document the people, places and experiences that brought St. Louisans together this week.
Inside, we visit St. Alphonsus “Rock” Catholic Church as Rev. Royce M. Thomas becomes only the second Black priest in the parish’s 160-year history, and look back on the life and legacy of Reggie Jones, whose 30 years of service through the Herbert Hoover Club touched generations of young people.
Our St. Louis Eatz special section puts Black-owned restaurants in the spotlight, showcasing local flavors and the people behind some of the region’s dining destinations. Plus, Tamiko Armstead, president and CEO of Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School, is featured ahead of receiving the Lifetime Achiever in Education Award at The St. Louis American Foundation’s 39th annual Salute to Excellence in Education Scholarship & Awards Gala.
