A note from Fr. Aldrin Tayag
It is with great joy that the Bishop has assigned me to be the pastor at St. Luke's in Nicholasville effective July 1, 2021. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as I go through this time of transition. I thank you all for the patience, kindness and affection that you extended and continue to do so. I am immensely grateful to God that He sent you along my journey.
We pray for each other! God bless Mary Queen!
