St. Francis of Assisi and Our Lady and St. John churches will host a series of evening liturgies — each in a different rite or form — June 9-13. A brief introduction to the rite or form will be given at 5:15 p.m., followed by Mass at 5:30 p.m. A Q&A with the celebrating priest will follow. 

The Masses will highlight “both the variety and universality of the worldwide Catholic Church,” said a press release from the churches.

Following is the schedule:

  • June 9 — Romanian Rite celebrated by Father Michael Schultz. 
  • June 10 — Syro-Malabar Rite celebrated by Father George Munjanattu. 
  • June 11— Maronite Rite celebrated by Father Patrick Dolan. 
  • June 12 — Ukrainian Rite celebrated by Father Jim Frasier. 
  • June 13 — Ordinariate Form of the Roman Rite celebrated by Father Jonathan Erdman. 

All Masses will be celebrated at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 1960 Bardstown Road.
