When The House Is Foreclosed
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 443.310 — at least twenty days' notice of a trustee's sale
In Missouri, a home under a deed of trust can be sold by the trustee under a power of sale, in the county where the land is, on not less than twenty days' notice of the sale, whatever the deed of trust says.
A year to redeem, with conditions. Where the property is bought in at the sale by the holder of the debt, the grantor may redeem within one year from the sale, but only by giving written notice of the intent to redeem at the sale or within ten days before the date advertised for it, and meeting the section's other conditions.

Loss mitigation, loan modification and the federal servicing rules run alongside a foreclosure on their own deadlines and are not on this page. Whether a notice was proper, whether a defense exists, and what a particular sale means are questions for a licensed Missouri attorney.
