We all understand education is vital to successful, engaged citizenship. Data in Canada and the U.S. show that students who have participated in the WE Day movement graduate at higher rates, consistently volunteer their time, donate funds to non-profits, and vote at twice the national average. In short, they are more likely to become active citizens, committed to making a positive change. We believe that Kentucky and Kentucky’s youth will flourish with WE Day!

  • Because of You
    BECAUSE OF YOU, 2015 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MESSAGE TO YOU Welcome to our first-ever Annual Report! While the Foundation was formed in the 1990s, we think it is time to more formally raise the profile of this organization, add a more pronounced“Thank You” for your long-standing generosity, and begin to tell you more about where we’re going. In our years of working with the Catholic Education Foundation, one thing is for sure. Our broader central Kentucky community truly believes in the Catholic education experience and values its impact. And that is why so many of you, both families and businesses, have given so selflessly to the cause of helping families who cannot afford the full cost of Catholic schools for their kids. Yes, our Catholic schools – 37 elementary and nine secondary with combined enrollments of nearly 20,000 students – are leading the way in demonstrated value to our community like no other. Why are Catholic schools so important? The answer is simple – They are the best way to connect Faith, Family and Learning the world over. No other educational experience better links these three precious life-long gifts. None. So if this experience is so valuable on such a broad scale, shouldn’t we all work together to enhance its vitality and extend its reach to more students? THE ANSWER IS YES! This past year in central Kentucky Catholic schools was quite historic on several fronts, but none more important than the Novem - ber 2014 joint announcement of a new Catholic school plan by the Archdiocese of Louisville and the Catholic Education Founda - tion.

(Dennis Xavier) Murphy (1853–1933) was born in Louisville, Kentucky. Murphy was the son of Irish immigrants and began working as a draftsman for Irish immigrant, architect, Henry Whitestone in 1874. In 1881, upon Whitestone’s retirement, Murphy took control of the firm. Murphy changed the name of the firm to D. X. Murphy & Bro., Architects, in 1890 when his brother J. C. (James Cornelius) Murphy became a partner in the firm. Murphy’s younger brother, Peter J. Murphy worked for the firm as well. Along with Louisville-area residences and business buildings, the Murphy brothers designed many churches and schools in Kentucky. Many of their projects were Catholic churches and academies, reflecting their strong ties to the Roman Catholic Church. They also built several medical facilities including the original Jewish hospital, and the Louisville General Hospital in 1914 on Chestnut St. The later was known as the “Million Dollar Hospital,” because Jim Crow regulations required building separate facilities for use by African Americans. Murphy’s firm was responsible for one of Louisville’s internationally known architectural works, the grandstand and twin spires at Churchill Downs. Murphy’s firm is still extant as Luckett & Farley, Inc. J. C. (James Cornelius) Murphy (1864–1935) was born in Louisville, Kentucky to Irish immigrant parents, Cornelius and Honora McNamara Murphy.
