Save the Dates
Gold Mass, Monday, November 27, 2023: Archbishop Shelton Fabre will preside at the Gold Mass, which honors scientists, science educators, and students of science and is open to all who have an interest in the relationship between faith and science. The Mass is at 6:00 p.m., Holy Family Church (3938 Poplar Level Road, Louisville), followed by pizza and a presentation in the Pastoral Center (3940 Poplar Level Road, right next to the Church.) The presentation features Christopher Graney, astronomer with the Vatican Observatory, and Tim Tomes, Archdiocesan Archivist, who will discuss the recently restored Bouchet Telescope. This 150-year-old telescope belonged to Monsignor Michael Bouchet, an inventor and vicar general for the then Diocese of Louisville in the 1870s.
Wedding Anniversary Mass, Sunday, November 26: Archbishop Shelton will preside at this Mass for couples celebrating 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of marriage. The Mass will be held at noon at the Cathedral of the Assumption. Contact your parish to register for this Mass by Friday, November 17.
Catholic Charities Presents with a Purpose
It’s time, holiday shoppers! Please help Catholic Charities provide Christmas gifts for 200 client families. Programs supported through this event are Sister Visitor Center, Community Support Services, Hispanic Services, Common Table, and Migration and Refugee Services. Catholic Charities only accepts NEW items for Christmas donations. Please donate UNWRAPPED because families are going to be shopping for themselves or being shopped for, and items need to be visible so they can get the items best for their family. Please cap gifts at $50. Go to the Amazon gift list at Amazon.com to shop online.
Catholic Charities also needs helping hands to organize the gift room and assist clients as they shop. Please email kpate@archlou.org to get involved and email Peyton Rhea (prhea@archlou.org) for more information about drop off times and procedures.
