Cardinal Elmer Joseph Ritter

Artist Drawing of Ritter House

"......Without having the power to tax or having anything to sell, Cardinal Ritter Raised 125 million dollars in the 1950's for new construction. He planned and managed the building of 42 new parishes, 16 high schools and a Catholic teaching and research hospital for children."

Let's honor Cardinal Ritter and help New Albany remember this important native son.

Letter from the Most Reverend Daniel M. Buechlein
