Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D. Bishop | Archdiocese of Louisville

Catholic Charities of Louisville joined the 52nd annual St. Patrick’s Parade in the Highlands on March 8, an event organized by the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

The organization was represented with a float designed to resemble a gumball dispenser, bearing the words “Dispenser of Hope.” A banner encouraged parade-goers to participate in the agency’s “40-Day PeopleUp Lenten Challenge.” This initiative provides a calendar for Lent detailing ways individuals can engage with Catholic Charities' ministry, which serves as the charitable arm of the local church.
