Church Renovation Update

The renovations to the Church are now complete! We are very excited with the upgrades and appreciate all the positive feedback we have received.

As we work to pay for this project, we thank parish families who continue to pledge, and who have sent in monies supporting the Renovation Fund Drive! Please remember to use the 'Church Renovation Fund' envelope that is included in your monthly envelope packet.

We have been blessed with a wonderful response to this campaign — we encourage you to keep those pledge cards and monies coming in! Extra cards are still available in the Gathering Area for families wanting to make a pledge. Completed cards can be returned to the Parish Office by mail, or put in the collection basket at Masses.

As always, we are blessed and thankful to you our parishioners for your continued support of our Parish. If you have any questions, please call the Parish Office, at 913-782-8864.

RCIA Program News

• Have you ever wondered how Catholics relate to Mary and the saints?
• Are you curious about the differences between Catholic and Protestant beliefs?
• Have you been coming to Church and want to learn more about the Mass and the Sacraments?
• Are you a non-catholic raising your children Catholic and want to learn more about the faith?

The Prince of Peace RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) process will soon begin a new journey in faith to share the richness of the Catholic Church and our parish family. These sessions are an opportunity for you, and others that you may wish to invite, to ask questions you may have about the Catholic Church. These gatherings are for inquirers and are open to people who are unbaptized, as well as those who are baptized Christian from Protestant or Evangelical backgrounds.

We invite you to learn what the Church teaches and its beliefs. For more information about the RCIA process, please call Martha Tady in the Christian Formation Office, at 913-747-7744 or 913-287-4502 (evening).

THE SCRIP PROGRAM NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!

For the Scrip Program to continue to be a viable entity and continue to raise funds for Church upgrades – such as the new flooring in the Sanctuary, we need YOUR help.

• We need 2 team captains to sell Scrip once every 10 weeks.
• We need someone to help reconcile once every 4 weeks.

Every parishioner benefits from this worthy program and should be involved in some way.

The viability of any program is the involvement of the people who benefit the most from it. THIS IS YOU!

If you wish to learn more, or have questions about the Scrip Program, please contact me at 816-942-4444 or e-mail cledmunds@prodigy.net.

Family Adoration

Family Adoration is the second and fourth Thursday of the month, from 3:15 – 3:45/4:00 pm in the Adoration Chapel. This time is spent praying the rosary, singing, reading from the Bible, saying traditional prayers with some time spent in silence. It is recommended for ages 5 to 95. The prayer time is led by an adult, so if you have never participated in Adoration, you can learn at this time. We would like to invite your family to spend some extra time with Jesus. For more information, please contact
Lisa Cunningham, at 913-764-8221 or email steve.lisa@sbcglobal.net.
