Friday, April 3, 2020: Palm strips are available outside the Pax Christi Collaborative Office; drive around the back side of OMOS church at 760 Eastern Parkway and you will see the white office sign just outside the rectory.
These palms, while unblessed, are still devotional. We hope you will keep them in your home as a witness to faith in Jesus and commemorating Christ's arrival in Jerusalem, the beginning of Holy Week and His Passion. Please don't linger so we can continue to practice social distancing. Feel free to stop by the Adoration window at the side door of church as you leave. |

March 16, 2020
From Father Philip:
Archbishop Kurtz has made a difficult but wise decision today (Monday, March 16th): “We have received new information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Based on the new information, I am calling all priests to suspend the public celebration of the Holy Eucharist, effective immediately and until further notice.” We will follow this diocesan directive regarding masses, SO AS OF TODAY, ALL MASSES ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
In addition to Masses, the Pax Christi Collaborative (St Therese, St Elizabeth, & Our Mother of Sorrows) has closed all three campuses.
The Parish office is closed. Staff are working behind the scenes to monitor phones and e-mail. Funerals, emergencies, banking, etc. will be dealt with, but visitors will not be received at the rectory and there will be no public gatherings on any campus. The emergency lines remain open on the switchboard. Call 502-637-7600 and listen to the prompts.
Bingos and Fish Fries are cancelled. This is certain to create some additional budget concerns for the community, but the common good is more important than any fundraising efforts.
ALL CAMPUS MEETINGS AND EVENTS ARE CANCELLED (e.g., Boy Scouts, Adoration, Charismatics, Altar Society, Volleyball, etc) until further notice.
As Pastor, I encourage the faithful to use the next few weeks to remain at home (as far as possible) and use the time to eat simply and spend more time with family and in prayer. This can be an opportunity to deepen our Lenten experience.
Please help spread the word; we all have a responsibility to help “flatten the curve”. Please watch our website www.paxchristilou.org and the Pax Christi and Fr. Philip Facebook pages for updates.

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.
