About Us

When we talk about a "Festival of Faiths," we are referring to a sustained series of annual events and programs, scheduled each year over the course of several consecutive days. Our mission is to celebrate the diversity of our faiths, be grateful for our unity and strengthen the role of religion in society. We accomplish our mission by exploring how the different participating faith traditions address a common issue, topic or theme.

In 1998, the US Senate adopted a resolution stating that the "Louisville Festival of Faiths should be commended and should serve as a model for similar festivals in other communities throughout the United States." Over the years, CHF has received regular requests for information and assistance from people around the world who were interested in exploring how the Festival of Faiths model might serve as a model to foster Interreligious cooperation in their own communities.
