Mission Statement “Lead all to the Church through the Word, the Sacraments and the Mass”

Update on Mass at Curé of Ars Curé is working on a plan to resume Mass that takes into account all of the safety guidelines outlined by the Archdiocese (view those guidelines here ). The dispensation given by the Archbishop from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass will remain in effect until it is safe to revoke it.  We understand that some parishioners are anxious to return to Mass while others may want to continue to stay home and watch live streamed Masses.  Our plan will be shared with parishioners once it is finalized next week. We ask for your prayers, patience, and understanding as we open our church under these new guidelines.

Faith, Hope and Charity Campaign Update The Parish Activity Center precast concrete panels are all erected and structural steel erection will occur this week, weather permitting. Parapet framing is scheduled to begin the following week. Framing is almost complete in both the new Middle School and the Administration/Secure Entry, and drywall installation will begin as utility rough in wraps up. As always, the Design Build Team have been taking proper precautions and practicing “social distancing” for all team members.  Thank you to all of those who have already made a pledge commitment to the campaign. Letters of intent are available online on our website. Please visit www.cureofars.com/faith-hope-charity-campaign to keep current on the progress of the project, complete your letter of intent, or set up payment processing.

Curé Food Drive for Catholic Charities Looking for a way to help our community? Curé will be hosting a food drive this weekend, May 10 from 1 -4 pm in the Country Club Bank Parking Lot. Every month Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas provides food to over 6000 families in our 8 food pantries. Without you, their pantry shelves would sit empty and many in our community would go hungry.  We are grateful for all those helping to make the situation better for others in our community.      Our Greatest Needs: Cereal Pancake Mix Pasta Rice Pasta Sauce Canned Fruit Peanut Butter Canned Meat
