This month, we're highlighting some helpful and timely resources for Catholics throughout the Archdiocese. We encourage you to check out the resources below.
Save the Dates
July 4-9: The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is an initiative of the Eucharistic Revival that seeks to take Jesus to the world on foot across the entire nation. Four routes begin with kickoff events on Pentecost, May 19, 2024. Each route will walk with Jesus across the country for approximately two months. All four groups will meet in Indianapolis on July 16 to attend the National Eucharistic Congress. The routes will cover 6,500 miles, 27 states, and 65 dioceses. We are blessed that the Juan Diego route, originating in Brownsville, Texas, will pass through the Archdiocese of Louisville from July 4 – 9. There will be several opportunities to interact with the pilgrims while here through prayer and fellowship. A schedule of events can be found here. At this site, you can follow an interactive map of the Juan Diego route and click on specific stops along the route for more information or to register for liturgies or events. We are particularly in need of volunteers to host the pilgrims overnight for one or two nights. Hosts must have Safe Environment training and be willing to host two or more young adults age 19-29. If you are interested in hosting, please contact Chenele Shaw here.
July 17-21: The National Eucharistic Congress will take place from July 17-21, 2024, and will feature compelling programming geared to various audiences, including youth, families, and individuals. For more information on the Congress, go here.
Day passes to the Eucharistic Congress are now available for purchase. Please go here for more information about the day passes. Purchase these passes directly at the Eucharistic Congress web page. Those interested in attending also can still purchase discounted tickets to the full Eucharistic Congress. The Archdiocese has received a discount on tickets, reducing the price from $360 to $299 per person. To access this code, email or call archdiocesan Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Richard “Tink” Guthrie here or call 502-585-3291, ext. 1118. Please contact Tink Guthrie as soon as possible. This discount may be discontinued at some point, and it is important to secure limited lodging opportunities.
Registration does not include the cost of transportation, housing, or food. More information about hotels and housing can be found here.

The Father Jack Jones Food Pantry at Holy Name Parish Campus
In 2024 the Father Jack Jones Food Pantry has distributed food to over 2,000 household members each month. In March, it averaged about 175 households and 506 members each week. Every week the food pantry is open on Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon, providing people with fresh produce, meat, and dry goods. The pantry is set up like a farmer’s market outside of Holy Name Church and remains open in rain, storm, or shine.
The Father Jack Jones Food Pantry can always use the following goods:
- Peanut butter.
- Cereal.
- Pasta and pasta sauce.
- Canned soup/ravioli.
- Rice.
- Canned vegetables (beans, corn, carrots).
- Any other non-perishable goods.
- Monetary donations are used towards fresh meat purchases each week.
- We could also use another outdoor canopy, especially during this rainy season.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, there are opportunities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Reach out by email here.
