St. Martin of Tours Church is a Roman Catholic church in Louisville, Kentucky. The building stands at 639 South Shelby Street in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood. It is one of only two churches in the archdiocese to regularly offer Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, with the pastor, a priest from the FSSP, and a local Passionist priest rotating as celebrants.[citation needed]
History
[edit]Construction
[edit]By the middle of the 19th century, Louisville's immigrant population was booming. Most significant in both number and cultural influence were the French, Irish, and German communities. It was the last group for which St. Martin's was built, as the congregation at nearby St. Boniface was outgrowing its building.[1] [2]
