Saint Peter the Apostle Catholic Church is the first five-church
merger in the Archdiocese of Louisville and is one of a handful of
mergers this size in the country. The creation of this parish came out
of the sacrifice of its people to unite into one parish for the
resourceful management of assets and a new spiritual direction for an
already strongly-established community of believers. At the present
there are about 1,750 registered families in the parish. These 4,670
parishioners are worshipping at a newly-constructed, 1,200-seat church
that was completed in 2010.
The parish school, Saint Andrew Academy, is located at 7724 Columbine
Drive and represents a commitment of this parish to the education of
its children. These faith-filled people are proud of their civic
communities of Pleasure Ridge Park and Valley Station, and the sharing
of their Christian Catholic heritage reflects a true blessing of
fellowship.
The mission statement of Saint Peter the Apostle Parish says it
clearly. We are “committed to announcing the Good News of Jesus Christ
and thus forming its members into a community of disciples who make
God’s love known.” Our four goals are to generate parish unity, live our
faith joyfully, nourish our faith continually, and proclaim our faith
through action.
