The Legacy of Susan Mount
She never visited St. Louis — and yet she built this church.
In 1911, Miss Susan Mount — an Episcopal laywoman from New York — gave $50,000 to Bishop Daniel Tuttle to establish a new church in St. Louis. Her gift made possible The Church of St. Michael and All Angels, a predecessor parish of CSMSG. She never set foot in the city, never worshiped in the building she funded, and yet gave freely and faithfully for the sake of the Gospel.
More than a century later, her legacy lives on through this parish — and through CSL’s Special Gifts, which carry forward her vision of faithful, generous stewardship.
All are welcome — no experience required, no commitment needed.
First-time guests eat lunch for free.
