Back in the days before the Galleria, he would take me to the lobby of the Seelbach Hotel so that we could observe the guests in their comings and goings. Perhaps from those “I know there are many reasons for your support, but I experiences, I love to be in our own “lobby” have come to believe that deep down, beneath it all, you give here at Mercy before and after school. because of your faith.” Mike Johnson Each day, our guests are greeted by the statue of Mother McAuley, modeled after the statue in front of her House of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland. Mother McAuley is ministering to a young woman, a servant girl in Dublin. I don’t know how often she is noticed, but for me she is a constant reminder of the Mercy hospitality that we hope to extend to all, no matter their need or station in life. When we extend this hospitality in the example of Mother McAuley, we do so because of your continued prayers and support.

  • 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.
