On Wednesday, November 13, our refugee family arrived at the airport around 6 pm! Members of our team were on hand to greet and welcome the family of five. There were smiles and handshakes all around. Even more comforting for them was that an uncle and friends who had lived in the refugee camp with them who are now Louisville residents had come out in full force to welcome them. We offer gratitude for all the support and prayers and interest. Our mentoring team continues walk with them as they settle into life in Louisville. There was a tree decorating party at their apartment, and members of the team brought them to the dinner and Advent Lessons and Carols here. There have been on other outings during the holidays. Both Aline and Bonke have jobs now, and the other three are in school. Click here for photos of their new home, an apartment outfitted and stocked thanks to Cathedral family generosity. Blessings on them and their new life here!

Welcome
It gives me great joy to welcome you to the Cathedral of the Assumption parish. We are the oldest inland Cathedral in the United States. Since 1830 countless men, women, and children have worshiped on the site where the present church is located. When the present church was formally dedicated on October 3, 1852, it became the heart of a local church and city.
The same heart still beats today, as the Cathedral of the Assumption maintains a rich tradition of religious identity and civic consciousness with a reach both far and wide. In addition to the many visitors who pass through her doors on a daily basis, parishioners are counted from twenty-seven counties in Kentucky and Indiana. We invite you to number yourself among us as we continue our rich history as members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ. In this way, we can be sure to continue the mission of the Cathedral parish in fidelity and truth.
May God bless you with the company of the angels and saints and with the protection of the Blessed Mother, our patroness.
Peace,
Very Rev. Michael T. Wimsatt, S.T.D.
