The staff and Board of Directors of Blue Grass Farms Chaplaincy
are committed to receiving input and interfacing with racing
related organizations and farm owners and managers and working
within the breeding industry to organize and support an effective
farm ministry. Considerable effort and time will be allocated
to determining particular needs and working with appropriate
racing related agencies and personnel to assemble a farm Chaplaincy
program that will benefit workers and farm managers alike.
Our Chaplain will be fully bilingual and our Chaplaincy program
all inclusive. We will provide assistance to all farm workers,
regardless of race, creed, religion or socioeconomic status.
In particular we will assist those that are Spanish-speaking
and educationally and financially challenged. We will reach
out into the greater Lexington area to secure resources and
financial support. We will strive to promote a sense of community
among local clergy, helping agencies and the local Thoroughbred
breeding industry.
