Living for Justice and Outreach

We help shape Epiphany's legislative advocacy efforts and assist with engaging parishioners into action on legislative issues pertinent to Catholic Social Teaching. The team works in conjunction with the Catholic Conference of Kentucky and national Catholic organizations.

Take action for justice together with the diverse congregations across the city to solve community-wide problems that impact affordable housing, aging in place, literacy, mental health and other issues.

Inspired by Pope Francis' call to Action on his encyclical, Laudato Si’ (2015), and Pope Leo XIV's affirmation of it (2025), we work to raise Awareness of our Christian obligation to care for our Common Home and the Earth, and energize a response to its degradation and restoration.

As a parish community, we're committed to a journey of ecological conversion, transforming our hearts and our habits to 'cultivate and care' (Genesis 2:15) the precious gift of God’s creation for the benefit of all generations.
