In the Community:

Vote November 3rd!

Missourians will be considering how to vote on Amendment 3, which would repeal the most harmful provisions of the 2024 amendment that regrettably enshrined abortion in our state constitution. Bishop Johnston joins his brother bishops across the state of Missouri in urging Catholics to vote YES on Amendment 3.

You may read or watch the full statement from the Missouri bishops at kcsjcatholic.org.

Parish Mission - Register Today!

Join us for a special two-day Parish Mission with Aviva Lund of Hallow, a Catholic speaker whose passion is helping others encounter the loving presence of Christ and grow in the interior life. Inspired by her own experience of meeting the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration as a child, Aviva draws from her formation in theology, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to offer practical and meaningful insights into prayer, discipleship, and human flourishing.

Drawing from the Gospel story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well, this mission will explore how Christ meets us in our deepest needs and continually invites us into a deeper relationship with Him through prayer.

Friday, December 4 | 7:00 PM

Saturday, December 5 | 5:30 PM

Attend either session or both.

Open to all adults.

No cost to attend.

Registration required.

Whether you're just beginning to develop a prayer life or seeking to go deeper in your relationship with the Lord, this mission offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and respond to Christ's invitation: "Whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst."

All Saints Day Parade

Please join us this Sunday, November 1st, after the 10:00 AM Mass for our annual All Saints Day Parade.

From The Office:

Ministry Schedule

Thirty-SecondSunday in Ordinary Time

Please pray for the sick and homebound members of our parish, that God may grant them healing, strength, and comfort. We also lift up in prayer all those serving in the military, asking the Lord to protect them and bring them safely home to their families. May we also remember our priests, deacons, and all who serve the Church, that they may be blessed with wisdom, courage, and perseverance as they faithfully carry out their ministry. Let us keep all those in need of God's grace and mercy in our prayers.
