Close to 100 people from many different faith communities came together on Good Friday for a prayerful Way of the Cross while reflecting on injustice in our world.
As we stopped to pray along the 1.5 mile route, stations were led by men, women, and children. See the news story from WLKY linked here.

As Louisville Metro Government and LMPD continue to work closely with the Department of Justice on the consent decree and reform within the police department, the Mayor shared this:
“I am pleased to see progress being made on the consent decree as we continue to work closely with the DOJ on this effort, which I view as an urgent priority for Louisville. We are committed to seeing out opportunities to gain direct feedback from the community and this is a great option for Louisvillians across the community to have a direct conversation with the DOJ.”
Join with your neighbors to hear updates on reforms to restore public trust.

BREAKING NEWS: PARENTING ISN’T EASY
BREAKING NEWS: PARENTING ISN’T EASY
You’ve heard the phrase, “the cycle of poverty.” But did you know there’s a “cycle of poor parenting” that affects generations of children in Kentucky?
Parenting isn’t easy, especially if you lack resources. Catholic Charities’ Community Support Services helps break the cycle of poor parenting by offering parenting skills training to people in need. We lift families up through programs like Mother-Infant Care, which offers pregnancy education and newborn care classes, and Mama Matters social-emotional support groups for moms with children 5 years and under.
For more information on these and other Community Support Services programs, contact Beth Yeager at 502-637-9786 or byeager@archlou.org.

Stephanie Henry-Floyd, associate director at UCHM, provided the list you see here as items they don't often have in the pantry. Imagine for just a moment if you couldn't afford to buy one of these items that you may use every day.
In your kindness, add an extra jug of laundry detergent or pods, a package of toilet paper, some body wash/deodorant, toothpaste/tooth brushes, or shampoo in your grocery cart this week. Bring it to church and add it to the bins/baskets for this collection. Your offering of these products will allow our 40206 neighbors to live a more dignified life.
