Cathedral of the Assumption
Pastor's Welcome Print E-mail

 

On behalf of Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz and as pastor, I am delighted to welcome you to the Cathedral of the Assumption web site.  The Cathedral, located in the central business district of downtown Louisville, is a vibrant, active parish of over 1300 registered households, from 90 zip codes in the Metro Louisville area and southern Indiana.  The Cathedral, since its dedication in 1852, has served as mother church of the diocese and a beacon of outreach to the larger religious and civic communities of Louisville.  We strive for prayerful excellence in worship, challenging lifelong faith formation, and an active concern for social justice in the world.  At the same time, we work to provide a haven of support and opportunities for our own parishioners.  Read more ...
