A map and directions are available. History St. Joseph's today is the continuation of a 163-year mission. It began in 1837 when two Sisters of St. Joseph traveled to St. Louis from Lyons, France to teach deaf children at the request of Bishop Joseph Rosati. In a log cabin they founded the first school for the deaf west of the Mississippi River. For the next century, the Sisters who followed devoted their lives to this work.
