To improve communication and accountability to our archdiocesan community, we are publishing the audited financial statements of the Archdiocese of Louisville for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements present fairly the combined results for the Chancery, Catholic Charities, and Catholic Cemeteries. We publish these statements with the ongoing commitment to inform you, our supporters, of the financial condition of the Archdiocese.

The financial health of the Archdiocese of Louisville is a reflection of your continuing generous support and prayers. For this, we thank you.

Robert L. Ash, Chief Financial Officer Archdiocese of Louisville
