Welcome to the NFPC 47th Annual Convocation & House of Delegates NFPC 47th Annual Convocation & House of Delegates Louisville Galt House Hotel April 20 – 23, 2015 April 20, 2015 Dear Brothers in Christ, May God bless you! On behalf of the people of the Church in Central Kentucky, I welcome you to Louisville for your 2015 convocation. We are honored by your presence. As you gather to consider your theme of “Father, Brother, Son: The Priest in the Family of God,” I note that your convocation is taking place between the two Synods on the family – the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops which took place in October 2014 and the 14th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops which will take place in October 2015. Your theme is very appropriate and timely. Louisville is known for horses, bourbon, and baseball bats, and there are many other treasures to be found in this lovely and vital city with a deep Catholic history. I pray that you will find your visit with us a time of relaxation and renewal of your priestly ministry. May our Blessed Mother Mary, intercede for us and show us the way to serve and strengthen families as we seek to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Fraternally yours in our Lord, Most Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D. Archbishop of Louisville Unity. Fraternity. Fidelity. ! ! ! ! April!2015! ! Dear!Brothers!in!Christ,! !
