Our camera operators need help!
The Cathedral media ministry has become an integral part of our outreach. We are very lucky to have two skilled volunteers to operate the equipment, but they could use a break now and then. If you or someone you know, is good with a laptop, or smartphone, or maybe video gaming, this could be an exciting opportunity.
Currently we live stream the 9:30 Mass as well as some special events. Anyone who is interested is welcome to sit it on a production. Contact Ken at 657-5221 or kgarrett@cathedraloftheassumption.org.

Dearest Friends from Compassion,
Wow, do we love Fifth Sundays! You've done it again; you've restocked our toiletry shelves!
Your donations of toiletries and your very generous $223 cash gift mean that clients like Tony can buy groceries and keep the lights on.
Tony's been a House of Ruth client for two decades. He absolutely counts on his ability to get shampoo, detergent, soap, and other hygiene products from us. Receiving these items free of charge means Tony can pay his LG&E bills AND have enough nutritious food to get through the month.
Because of your Fifth Sunday drives, Tony doesn't have to choose between groceries and electricity. He can have both because you make that happen.
Until its a world free of HIV,
Lisa Sutton
Executive Director

Helping our New Neighbors from Afghanistan
Catholic Charities of Louisville soon expects to welcome up to 150 Afghan evacuees to Louisville. Many in our community are anxious to help, but the situation is still uncertain and constantly evolving. To best address this, we have created a webpage to keep you updated and allow you to sign up, noting your interests. We will reach out when we have specifics on donation needs, volunteer opportunities, etc. (We will also need to find residential rentals!)
Parishes interested in adopting families should also register. In a few weeks, we will explain via a Zoom call what this entails – including home set-up, transportation, ESL classes, interaction with families, and cultural activities to acclimate the families to their new homes. Each parish will need a leader or small committee to be the main contact with Catholic Charities. If you can help lead this effort at your parish, please note that in your individual registration.
Please take some time to watch the posted video to clarify how the refugee process works, how Catholic Charities of Louisville responds to arriving families, and how you can help. We couldn’t be more grateful.
