R C I A
Anyone who is interested in learning more about the Catholic church should contact the parish office. We will be starting in a few weeks. Do you know anyone who has expressed interest to you. Maybe this would be a good time to invite them to come with you to investigate what the Catholic Church is about. It is often your invitation that does it. Don’t be afraid to ask. You might be the instrument that God will use to extend His life of grace to this person.  RCIA will begin September 22, 2010, 7:00 pm  in the Education Center, 719 Pennsylvania.

Rest In Peace
Our prayers and condolences are sent to James and Margaret Byrne on the recent death of their son Matthew Byrne and the family and friends of Martha Towns who also recently died.  May the presence of the Holy Spirit give you comfort at this time of great sadness. 

Sacred Heart Altar Society Meeting

Feasibility Study
We need your input!During the past several months, Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann has consulted with the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council, College of Consultors, Archdiocesan Finance Council and the Presbyterial Council about the challenges and opportunities that face the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
Those meetings have resulted in a list of important needs that the Archbishop may consider addressing with a special archdiocesan-wide all-parish campaign. Before any decisions are made, it is important that your feedback is received regarding the preliminary plans.
We are now asking for your ideas and feedback. We have retained the services of the Steier Group to conduct a feasibility study. The study will enable us to gather information that will be helpful in prioritizing our needs and gauging the level of support for a possible capital campaign.
A capital campaign is a major fundraising effort that will focus on the Church’s needs that can’t be fully addressed by regular parish offertory or our annual appeal. Donors are able to make a pledge that can be paid over a five-year time frame.
Throughout the Archdiocese there are many needs that are under consideration including Catholic secondary education, Donnelly College, youth outreach and evangelization, and the needs of our urban areas/transitional areas, as well as offering a regional/parish sharing opportunity.
You can read more about our needs and take the survey on our website:www.archkck.org Click on the logo.  If you have any questions or want to request a mail survey, please contact the Feasibility Study office, (913) 647-0316. Thank you.
