In memory of John Paul II

 

Anthony Moshier, a pre-K student of Holy Family School in Great Bend, stands with a portrait of Pope John Paul II that has been adorned with hearts prepared by students at Holy Family School. Students presented the hearts during their regular weekday Mass by carrying them in a procession and placing them in one of three vases that were placed around a portrait of Pope John Paul II. The hearts had a personal message from each student.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knights donate $300 to St. Andrew Religious Ed program

Delbert Downey, Deputy Grand Knight of Knights of Columbus Council 1862, presented a check for $300 to Regina Lix and Father Robert Schremmer. Regina is the DRE for St. Andrew Parish in Wright. The check is part of the proceeds from the Religious Education Raffle that the State Council of the Knights of Columbus holds each year. Monies raised are distributed to parishes and Catholic schools throughout Kansas each year.

Blessing a new font

Msgr. Brian Moore blesses the new baptismal font and Easter candle at St. Lawrence Parish, Jetmore, March 26, during an Easter Vigil and baptism of three children. The design of the font was created by Father Henry Hildebrandt. The wood frame built around the base was constructed by the Shiew brothers of Jetmore. Jay Cohoon of Dodge City did the tile work, and the water system was installed by Best Water. Electrical work was performed by Werner’s Plumbing of Spearville. The new font was implemented by a donation in memory of the late Roberta Knoeffler.
