Parish Ministries
The Saint Boniface community has survived generation after generation in a frequently changing urban environment. The people of Saint Boniface are resilient and desire to maintain, and grow, their sense of community. We want to invite you to experience this welcoming community for yourself! With our proximity to the downtown hotels, Saint Boniface is often blessed with out-of-town visitors, and we hope to provide them the same welcoming community that we have for everyone else. If you are looking for a parish where you can get involved Saint Boniface is that parish. We have plenty of opportunities for lectors, servers, ushers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, gift bearers, cantors, and members of the choir. If you have a desire to serve, but don't get to serve often where you are, you are always welcome at Saint Boniface. We are also happy to help train beginners. It is never too late to start a new chapter in serving the Lord!
Choir
Although strongly focused on its urban mission to the poor of the city, good liturgy and music form the basis of weekly worship at Saint Boniface.
Ryan McEldowney took over in July 2019 as organist and director of music following the retirement of William Lincoln after many years of faithful service. The Saint Boniface choir is composed of singers from all parts of the city and usually sings at the 11:00 Sunday Mass. The choir is open to anyone with an interest in singing. Rehearsals are Sunday mornings at 10:00.

Young Adults and Medical Professionals
Saint Boniface is positioned at the edge of the NuLu district in downtown Louisville and is just blocks away from the University of Louisville School of Medicine and School of Dentistry. This gives us a unique opportunity to minister to the young adults who live, study, and work nearby. We want the young adults in and around Saint Boniface parish to know that we are here to serve you and your spiritual needs. Contact Fr. Quan Nguyen, the associate pastor, or check the bulletin for information regarding Bible studies and other events for young adults.
