Important 2021 Curé Census Information
Curé of Ars is conducting a census of all families and members to update our records. All registered families should have received an E-mail or a letter in the mail with details on how to complete the census. We are hoping to hear from each of our parishioners to verify the information we have. If you did not receive the census information, please call the Parish Office at 913.649.1337. Thank you for taking the time to help us with this important project.
Book of the Dead
Names of deceased loved ones may be written in the Book of the Dead located next to the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The church is open daily from 6 am to 6 pm so those who are avoiding crowds can enter names between those times as well as before and after Masses. The book will be enshrined there during the month of November.
