Thank you for your ministry and service to the Archdiocesan Church of Louisville and in your local school or parish faith community. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Let's all work to make this holiday season 2010, and the new year of the Lord soon to come, a spiritually uplifting, happy, safe, and hope-filled period for everyone, everywhere.
