Covid Exposure Update from Fr. Philip Erickson, November 25, 2020:
An employee has tested positive for Covid; and, all employees are now quarantining for 14 days. At the moment, none are showing any symptoms and feel fine. Due to this exposure, the parish offices are completely closed, effective immediately, and will only reopen on 9 December.
By health department standards, time and distance seem to be defining criteria for when someone has had contact with a Covid patient and must self-quarantine. A person, who is less than six feet apart from a Covid patient and who is around them for 15 minutes or more, qualifies as being in contact with a Covid patient.
I was masked, at six feet, and around the employee for less than 15 minutes in any 24 hour period; I probably do not qualify as having been in contact by health department standards. Similarly, Fr. Dolan had a very brief encounter in the office, and he doesn’t qualify either.
Still, I do not want to risk the health and safety of my parishioners. Thus, I am cancelling all weekday, in-person masses until Dec 5. Weekday masses will be live-streamed from my rectory chapel. Deacon Tim has graciously agreed to preside at the Thanksgiving service and will conduct a service for any masses that we cannot get a priest for this coming weekend (28-29 Nov).
Our concern is for your health and safety. Please pray that everyone continues to feel well, as we look forward to returning to service.

About Us
The Pax Christi Collaborative brings together our three important, historical Roman Catholic parishes of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Our Mother of Sorrows and St. Therese of Lisieux to work in a unified mission of spreading the light and peace of Christ throughout Louisville. Pax Christi not only reflects the parishes’ resolve to spread the message of Christ, it also reminds us of our heritage in the Latin language with Pax meaning peace and Christi as Christ, Himself.
The three parishes of the Pax Christi Collaborative will be a source of renewal in the heart of Louisville: Revitalizing our faith, reverencing our traditions and reaching out to welcome new parishioners of all ages.

Give
As Christ’s followers, we believe that we are stewards of God’s resources; God is the owner. Throughout Scripture, we’re reminded of the importance of giving back a portion of what God has so generously provided. His Word tells us that giving is an act of worship with a spirit of thanksgiving.
