Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
Ephesians 4:2

Catholic Identity

Please pray for our students making their First Reconciliation next week. What an exciting time for them and for us.


Educational Choice

One way we can all work together to make Catholic Education more affordable for is is supporting Educational Choice. House Bill 350 would bring educational choice to Kentucky by creating a Scholarship Tax Credit program. This program would make K-12 tuition at non-public schools more affordable for thousands of Kentucky families. It only takes a couple of minutes to make a difference! Call your state representative at 1-800-372-7181 to leave them a message in support of House Bill 350. The operator will help you get the message to the right representative based on your home address. Here is a link to submit an email to your local representative  https://www.votervoice.net/CCKY/Home  . Only took me 2 minutes to complete!
 
Making a call only takes 5 minutes of your time. When Pennsylvania passed the EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program it was a game changer for families who could not afford a Catholic Education.
