Opportunities for Life is a 24/7 helpline service that offers pregnancy resource referrals and encouragement to persons experiencing an unplanned pregnancy.  Sponsored by the Catholic bishops of Kentucky, they rely on trained volunteers that sign up for scheduled hours each month to take hotline calls (12 – 15 hours per month).   During hotline calls volunteers listen to each situation intently, inspire hope, and provide the caller with options that they may not have recognized on their own. Charity and understanding are offered.   Volunteers attend a training and participate in an in-home study program. Training will be held at St. Aloysius in the Dickman Center on Saturday, May 18 from 10 – 4. Call 1-888-496-3638 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

All organizations wishing to display signs for upcoming events must get approval by the Parish Office before posting. Please call the Parish Office, 241-8452, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it at least 30 days before the event. The City of Pewee Valley has a sign ordinance that we must adhere to. You can refer to the ordinance by going to http://www.peweevalleyky.org/ordinance.asp.

All organizations wishing to publish items in the bulletin should submit their information to Cindy Sullivan at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it at least 9 days in advance of the actual bulletin date. The Parish Office is trying to put all information in the bulletin itself rather than printing inserts. This saves on the cost of paper, printing, and labor. We can also use the St. Aloysius website to promote events/activities as well.

Families with a new baby have lots of responsibilities.  One way that our parish family can share our love and support for these families is by providing them with meals after baby's arrival.  This ministry will offer an organized way for parishioners to participate.  If you would like to be a meal volunteer, please contact Mary Kathryn DeLodder at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  E-mail access will be required to participate.  Volunteering does not commit you to providing meals, but you will be notified when the opportunity is available.

And, if your family is expecting a new baby (birth or adoption), please let us know.  Don't be shy.  Contact Mary Kathryn at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it so we can gather some basic information.
