The Rev. Fr. Jack Caldwell

I am the youngest of nine children, born and raised in Marion County. I went to St. Charles Grade School and then went into the archdiocesan seminary at St. Thomas on Brownsboro Road in Louisville, Ky. From there I went to St. Meinrad and graduated from college. I left the seminary after that for a couple of years and then returned and finished theology at St. Maur's and Catholic Seminary of Indianapolis which is now closed. Our rector was a Benedictine from St. Procopius in Illinois. I enjoy being a priest and was ordained on May 16, 1970 at the Cathedral of the Assumption. I have a nephew, Fr. Terry Bradshaw, who is also a priest in the archdiocese of Louisville, Ky. My mom's maiden name is Spalding and need I say more....I have many, many relatives and numerous religious kindred! I have worked with all ages of people and enjoy all of them. My ministry has been, of course to parishes, working with youth retreats, nursing homes, visiting the sick as chaplin of a hospital, teaching religion to juniors and seniors, ministering to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, and the Sisters of Loretto, working with Pre-Cana and Engaged Encounter, involved in team ministry, and at the present involved in prison ministry. My first assignment was at St. Pius X in Louiville as Associate Pastor and then the same at the following parishes:St. Catherine, St. Joesph Proto-Cathedral in Nelson Co. After being there for eight years I served as pastor at St. Lawrence, Lou. Ky. After being there, I was appointed pastor of three parishes: Our Lady of the Hills, St. Francis DeSales in Taylor Co. and Our Lady of Fatima in Marion Co. I also became pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Taylor Co. and Holy Redeemer in Green Co. After twelve years in those assignments I went to St. Aloysius where I am in my seventh year of ministry. Would I do it all over again? You bet!
