As many of us pause to celebrate holidays with loved ones, join is in reflecting on past holiday blessings. This Christmas tree spread holiday joy at St. Mary's Infirmary in the 1900s. ✨🎄 The hospital on Papin Street in St. Louis was built in 1887 by the Sisters of St. Mary. In 1933, it became the first Catholic hospital for African Americans and had the first integrated medical staff in the city.
