This is truly a point of pride and would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment each of you and all members of the St. Paul Community. As the song says, "This is a record year". I am extremely proud of our accomplishment but this is not a stopping point, it is only the beginning.
Love your People,

Catholic Conference of Kentucky is working with EdChoice KY
The beginning of the school year presents opportunities to spread the word about scholarship tax credits. Catholic Conference of Kentucky is working with EdChoice KY on educating Kentuckians about this important issue. Scholarship Tax Credit programs increase needs-based assistance for children to attend the non-public school of their parents’ choice. The program would be funded by private donations from individuals and businesses. This solution helps to ensure that all students, regardless of their economic standing or ZIP Code, have the opportunity to be in the classroom that best meets their unique needs.
The first phase of this effort involves getting families, school officials and other interested parties signed up for EdChoice KY’s social media accounts and newsletter. This allows them to receive information on the issue so that they can be better informed.
As we move further into the fall, EdChoice KY will be releasing more detailed information on the issue. In the meantime, I am available if there are other opportunities to discuss the issue in more detail.

Celebration of William Shakespeare's 400th Anniversary
Kick Off City-wide Celebration of William Shakespeare's 400th Anniversary
- Accompanied by representatives from Louisville’s arts and cultural institutions, Mayor Greg Fischer officially announced an eight-month-long, city-wide celebration of William Shakespeare called Will in the Ville. This collaborative initiative—spearheaded by the Frazier History Museum, University of Louisville, and the Louisville Free Public Library—involves more than 45 arts, cultural, and educational organizations throughout Louisville and Southern Indiana. As part of the international commemoration of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, it aims to make Louisville a “city of Shakespeare.”
- Shakespeare events begin this month and continue throughout 2016.
- “Shakespeare’s writing is timeless – beautiful and poetic – and the city is honored to host this important celebration of all things from the Bard of Avon,” Fischer said.
- The First Folio, published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare’s death, is the first collected edition of his plays, many of which were not published during his lifetime.
- When the First Folio arrives in Louisville, its pages will be opened to the most quoted line from Shakespeare and one of the most quoted lines in the world, “To be, or not to be,” from Hamlet. Accompanying the rare book will be a multi-panel exhibition exploring the significance of Shakespeare, then and now, with additional digital content and interactive activities. "...this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come within inches of one of the most influential books in history,” said Penelope Peavler, President & CEO of the Frazier History Museum.
- First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare premieres in Louisville at the Frazier History Museum on November 10 and will be free and open to the public. A schedule of programs, activities, and performances is available online at LFPL.org/WillintheVille. And you can follow the conversation on Twitter and Instagram using #WillintheVille.
