Priest Variety Show benefits Seminarians

Priest Variety Show is Friday, January 9, at Saint Xavier High School in the Brown-Forman Cultural Arts Center. The doors open for a reception at 6:00 p.m. followed by the talent show at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $40. Proceeds from the upcoming show will benefit the Seminarian Education Fund. Seminarian education has become one of the largest financial responsibilities for the Archdiocese each year. This year, it will cost over $1.5 million to fund the formation of our seminarians. Special events such as the Priest Variety Show help raise the necessary funds to fully support our seminarians. To purchase tickets click here.



Special Needs Families and Friends Mass

and

Advent/Christmas Party

All are welcome! We hope your family will join us for the  Special Disciples of Jesus Mass. We invite all Special Needs families and friends to St. Margaret Mary on Sunday, December 21 at 3PM. 


An Advent/Christmas Party sponsored by the Knights of Columbus will immediately follow.  Please RSVP if your family can join us. Contact: Tara Mattingly at tmattingly@stmm.org or 502-690-2851. 



We know Mass can be a struggle for many families, so we hope to have a beautiful, unique celebration together where all feel welcome. Just come as you are! Your family will be welcomed with open arms and will hopefully meet other families in similar situations. The Mass will be shorter and geared towards our children. We hope to foster a Catholic community here with fellowship following Mass, so stick around to meet other families and kids.
