St. Joseph: Protector of Mary and Jesus
2026-04-25 09:30 - 11:30 | FRP Offices, 4545 Bishop Ln, Louisville, Kentucky, 40218
This event is facilitated by Fr. Adam Carrico
Who: All adults & mature children accompanied by a parent
Date: Saturday, April 25
Time: 9:30 – 11:30am
Location: FRP HQ | 4545 Bishop Ln, Suite 201
Cost: $5 per Individual | $8 per Couple/Household | FREE for Clergy, College Students, and Missionaries (Includes Handouts, Snacks, and Drinks)

Course Overview:
From the beginning of time, God had St. Joseph chosen to be His adoptive father–to show the Son of God an example of masculinity and assume responsibility of being a husband to Mary, both conceived without sin. Despite this obscure and scandalous situation, St. Joseph steps up to answer the call God has placed upon him to become the provider and protector of what is Salvation History. We will break open how St. Joseph, as the head of the Holy Family, is the prime example of how to live the Theology of the Body in our relationships.
St. Joseph: Protector of Mary and Jesus will be held on Saturday, April 25 at FRP HQ (4545 Bishop Ln, Suit 201) starting 9:30am-11:30am.
In November 2025, Fr. Carrico gave a presentation entitled “Holy Mary, Mother of God–Jesus’ First Dwelling Place”. The talk was very well attended and all in attendance expressed interest in Father giving a talk on St. Joseph. We hope you will join us on April 25 … we know you will be glad you did! Invite your fellow parishioners, friends, & family to attend too!
Facilitator:
Father Adam Carrico was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville on December 19, 2015. Father was born and raised in Saint Aloysius parish in Pewee Valley where he graduated from grade school in 1997. He attended Saint Xavier High School (2001) and UofL, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history (2006). He entered Saint Meinrad Seminary in 2008 where he earned both master of divinity and master in Catholic philosophical studies degrees. Upon his ordination to the priesthood Father was assigned to Saint Gabriel as Associate Pastor, then a year later (2016) moved to Saint Patrick as Associate Pastor while also serving at Saint Boniface. In 2019 he became the Pastor at Ascension and in 2023 the Pastor at Saint Aloysius in Shepherdsville and Saint Benedict in Lebanon Junction where he continues to serve today.
During his early years of seminary studies, Father Carrico developed an interest in mental health advocacy and ministry. After losing his brother, Kurtis, to suicide in 2012, Father’s commitment to those who suffer from mental illness and thoughts of despair deepened even more. Father is enthusiastic about many things, including Theology of the Body and the universal truths of the human person; truths that not only renew the personhood of a man as priest of Jesus Christ, but the personhood of those to whom every priest is called to serve.
*Fr. Carrico has attended (4) 30-hour immersion courses at the TOB institute:

TOB 1: “Head and Heart”
TOB 2: “Into the Deep”
TOB & the Interior Life
TOB & the Marian Mystery

Do you wonder . . .

How do I live my life in a way that will bring true happiness?
Why do I have all of these desires in my body? … in my soul? … and what am I supposed to do with them?
What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman?
What does it mean to be human?

The culture—the world we live in and that our children and grandchildren are growing up in—is utterly confused about the answers to these questions!
For such a time as this, we have been given (and you have the opportunity to receive) the great gift!
God Himself took on flesh—He became a human person, a man, a body! Our bodies matter: in fact, they tell a divine story!
Join us to discover your story, your identity, and your true purpose!
This consolidated crash course, starting on Friday evening and ending on Saturday afternoon, is an ideal solution for those who aren’t able to attend consecutive weeks due to work, family obligations, travel distance, etc.
* Nursing infants are welcome.
Course Overview:
This course is an excellent introduction to the teachings of the Church known as “Theology of the Body” and will provide a solid understanding of God’s plan for humanity. Using the Ascension Press series An Intro to Theology of the Body: Discovering God’s Master Plan for Your Life (an 8-part study that we have consolidated into a weekend crash course), the interactive course will include time for reflection, discussion, and prayer.
This opportunity is for every “body” who desires to reach his or her full potential in this life and become Fully Alive — young, old, single, married, parents, empty-nesters, clergy, and religious!
Participants under age 18 may attend if accompanied by parent/guardian.
Registration:
Register by completing the form at the end of the page.
If registering as a family, choose Couple and complete the fields for the first two people, then add remaining names and information in the Comment/Questions box at the bottom of the form.
Registration fee includes Handouts, Snacks, and Drinks throughout and a Continental Breakfast on Saturday. For lunch on Saturday, either bring your own lunch or prepay and lunch will be provided for you.
Accompanying Minors: There are excellent Theology of the Body materials available for children of all ages; however, this course is designed for a more mature audience. Children under the age of 18 can attend at the discretion of their parents (guardian) and must be accompanied by an adult.
Catechist Credit: All Family Renewal Project courses qualify for Catechist Credit through the Archdiocese of Louisville Office of Faith Formation. Those seeking credit, please complete the appropriate information on the registration form so we know to verify your attendance.

Materials:
A course handout will be provided (no additional cost).
A digital workbook and online access to the accompanying videos for one year is available from Ascension Press. Click here to purchase.
Past Comments:
“I knew about TOB but couldn’t explain it or really know what it was. I do NOW!”
“I feel better prepared to discuss the sacrament of marriage.”
“The teachings make sense and should be regular because it becomes so easy to get lost/influenced by culture, even as an active Catholic.”
“Loved every moment of our discussions and the people who came!”
“Amazing! Clear, intelligent, and concise presentation.”
