Our Mission

 The mission of Saint Mildred parish is the spiritual growth and formation of the community through worship, educational endeavors, and cultural unity.

Meet the Priest

Before coming to Saint Mildred Father Jay VonHandorf was involved in Hispanic Ministry within the Diocese of Lexington, KY.

We invite  you to register and receive emails we send out with news or special Mass schedules

Donate Directly to Saint Mildred's using our Vanco Electronic Giving system

​

Please remember that your parish contributions are still vital at this point.  Monies can be mailed to the church office as we are daily picking up the mail. 

You can also sign up for online giving !    Just click on the Donate button and it will walk you through the simple process.  If you want to sign up and need assistance, please call Marchetta at 606-305-7071.  

In following protocol set up by our Diocese, MASSES at St. Mildred  have now resumed, with social distancing.   

Communion will be given at the end of Mass at the dismissal pew by pew, each person waiting 6 feet back all the time. 

Approach with your mask still in place, bow reverently, extend your hand, receive the host in your hand “throne”, lower your mask to be able to consume the host, then step left or right to go out through one of the side doors (or circle around if you need to go out the back).  We are not using the words “Body of Christ….or Amen” due to close proximity.

Communion will also be brought to the O’Bryan Center as well as to any in cars.

The Masses can ALSO be viewed via livestream at Saint Mildred Catholic Church facebook page or at the following

The Holy Mass will be celebrated in English at 5:00 PM on Saturdays ,9:00 AM on Sundays,  and the Holy Mass in Spanish on Sundays at 2:00 PM

Prayer During A Health Crisis

Compassionate and Loving Father,

In the face of confusion and concern

impart to us the calm of your presence.

In You allow us to find hope and healing.

Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.

Be with those who lead and give them Your Spirit of wisdom.

Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart.

Wrap your arms around our world

and hold us in your love.

Allow us at this time of trial to then

serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.

We ask this in Your Name.

Amen.
