Please welcome Sr. Justina who has come here this weekend as part of the Missionary Plan of Cooperation.  The Wichita Diocese supports a number of missionary groups from around the world with part of the tithe that our parish sends the diocese each month. Therefore, there is no extra collection this Sunday.  Yet it good to hear from the Church around the world and how our gifts are making a difference.

Please welcome Fr. Dave Korth from St. Augustine Indian Mission (our sister parish) who will be here next weekend June 15th and 16th for the Masses. He will have a short Native American Flute Concert that will begin shortly after the 5:00 Saturday Mass as well as a video about the Mission.
