Saint Christopher Catholic Church

August 25, 1958 marked the date that Archbishop John A. Floersh, Archbishop of Louisville, established the parish of Saint Christopher, Martyr.

This founding came just two years following the incorporation of Radcliff, KY as a city in 1956.

In September of 1959, a school was opened in two classrooms. By March of 1960 construction of the church, school, and rectory was completed! Over the years our parish school grew to a K-8 school with a maximum of 198 students. We were glad to have had a school, but because of declining enrollment and financial difficulties, our parish school was clossed on May 25, 2005.

Through the years, Saint Christopher Church continues to grow along with our Northern Hardin County area. We have had a close relationship with our friends and family at Ft. Knox and love to be of service to all in the area.

Saint Christopherr Catholic Church has come a long way since August 25, 1958. There has been prayer, work and sacrifice in our history. This heritage is a cornerstone for a leap into the future. The Radcliff and Northern Hardin County community is growing and the Catholic community of Radcliff wishes to be an integral part of that continued growth. Our church, and the parish life that issues forth from it are a sign of our commitment and dedication to the Worship of God and service to our community.

People build churches through their outward expressions of faith and devotion, but it is our continued love of God and desire to do His work that will lead us into the future. May God continue to bless the people and parish of St. Christopher Church for many generations to come!

As a faithfully Roman Catholic Community, with our focus on Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, may we continue to be true "Christopher", bearing Christ to our community.
