Louisville parish celebrates its history as the first to serve African-American Catholics in the city

St. Augustine Church was packed Aug. 29 as its 300 or so families, together with Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, celebrated the parish’s 140th anniversary.

In a tribute to its history, members of the parish gathered at the corner of 14th Street and Broadway, where the first St. Augustine Church was built in 1870. Then they processed to the rhythmic beat of a drum to the present church a block east — accompanied by the archbishop; former pastors, Fathers Eugene Scheich and John Deatrick; St. Augustine’s pastoral administrator, Deacon James Turner; the parish’s current sacramental moderator, Father Patrick Delahanty; and its deacons, Keith McKenzie and John Churchill.

One of those in the procession was Bonnie Parker, who remembered carrying a cross from the Cathedral of the Assumption to the site of the original church during the parish’s diamond jubilee celebration in 1945. Read More

He initiated, raised funds for center’s renovation and expansion project

Louisville native Paul Hornung received many accolades during his career as a star football player.

He was an All-State player at Flaget High School in Louisville, he won the Heisman Trophy in 1956 at the University of Notre Dame and he is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

But last Sunday, Aug. 29, Hornung was honored for something far removed from the gridiron: his long-time support of the Sister Visitor Center. He was also feted for his work initiating and raising funds for the renovation and expansion of the center at 23rd and Market streets in Louisville’s West End. Read More
