A Somalian refugee living in Louisville reunited with his Ethiopian wife Friday at the Louisville International Airport. He also met his 3-year-old daughter for the first time. They're likely the last refugees hosted through Catholic Charities for months. Dozens of well-wishers joined Parkat Mohamed at the airport. The anticipation was more than three years in the making. Mohamed said he wasn't sure the reunion would happen, after President Trump suspended the admission of all refugees for 120 days. App users click here to see clip of reunion. "I'm very excited to see them today," said Mohamed. When Louisville Archbishop Joseph Kurtz found out this may be the last group Catholic Charities can host in Louisville for some time, he said he wanted to be part of the welcome. "I've been such an admirer of the presence of refugee families within our city and they have not only been helped, they've helped us," said Kurtz. Catholic Charities will now help the family re-settle and acclimate to Louisville.
