For nearly 170 years, the Church of Our Lady served the Roman Catholic community in the historic Portland neighborhood of West Louisville (see map). Founded in 1839, it was the second oldest Catholic parish in the city and the third oldest in the Archdiocese of Louisville.

As part of the Archdiocean Parish Reorganization Plan, Our Lady merged with St. Cecilia (see map) and St. Anthony parishes, both located in the Portland neighborhood. Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz decreed Our Lady as the host site for the new parish of Good Shepherd of June 17, 2009. Read news about the merger.

We appreciate your patronage and support over the past few years. A site for Good Shepherd parish will be created, and the historical content of the Our Lady website will continue to be available for new generations to view.
