With approximately 300 parishioners, St. Boniface Catholic Church is a parish with an urban mission. It is located close to downtown Louisville in a neighborhood that is undergoing tremendous transition – a transition that will be a positive one for the community, the neighborhood, the parishioners and the church.

Located in southeastern Jefferson County, Mercy Academy has served young women since 1885. Since its establishment, more than 6,000 young women have sought the unique blend of excellence, challenge and personalized attention that are the hallmarks of a Mercy education.
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY ENRICHMENT
Our Church teaches that marriage is “an intimate partnership of life and love.” (Gaudium et Spes) Thus, marriage requires of both husband and wife a complete and unreserved giving of self. It requires couples to be emotionally and physically available to each other in the ordinary, messy events of each day, in times of joy and conflict, of sickness and health, until death. Marriage challenges couples to focus not only on their own love for each other (individualistic), but to let that love overflow to all others (communal). True love generates love in all areas of life.

Just as automobiles need tune-ups, so, too, do marriages. The archdiocese provides the following support and moments of celebration for couples.
