WHAT IS THE CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL?
The Catholic Services Appeal is your annual invitation to support the ministries and services of the Archdiocese of Louisville. The Appeal plays an integral role in funding over 100 different programs and services of the Archdiocese. Whether it is providing pastoral care to those in the hospital, supplying clothing and food to those in need, reaching out to youth and young adults, educating future priests and supporting retired priests, or providing services to parishes and schools, the Catholic Services Appeal supports ministry at every level of our Archdiocese.
Our 2016 Catholic Services Appeal goal is $3.5 million. Through your much needed and greatly appreciated gift to the Appeal, you have the opportunity to Bring Christ to Others!

We Want Your Legos!
Parents, if you have any Legos in your home that you no longer use, please donate them to St. Paul's Creative Learning Center!!! We are working to acquire enough Lego supplies to build a Lego wall for our older students, and we also need the bigger Lego blocks for our littles (PS, PK, and Kindergarten) to utilize. Wondering why Legos are so valuable in school? Here are a few reasons:
- Legos provide tools that develop lateral thinking in a fun environment;
- Legos teach kids to think in three dimensions;
- Legos improve literacy as kids work with instructions;
- Legos develop problem-solving skills, organization, and planning by construction;
- Legos improve creativity;
- Legos enhance communication and critical thinking; and,
- Legos boost kids' motor development.

You won’t want to miss the parade of costumes or the best costume contest! There will also be a chili cook-off with prizes awarded for the best chili.
