MARY'S GARDEN

In the Spring, work begins in our beautiful Mary's Garden! The Garden Committee meets to prune, weed, trim, plant, and water the garden. Typically, we work till mid September. We usually have a work day right before the Fall Festival and ask a few men to help trim trees, shrubs, cut back peonies and such larger jobs. Otherwise, our work during summer is weeding, watering, planting and dependant on weather... we don't work if it's over 95 or so or after rain when it's muddy. We don't work in winter, but someone clears snow. Please join us to keep Mary's Garden looking well kept and beautiful! Thank you!

PRAYER CHAIN

Please email us with your requests to have us pray for your needs...

If you do not have a need, but would like to be added to our Prayer Chain list to pray for those in need, please email us. You may also call your request in to Alice Van Dyke - please call the church office to obtain her #, 660-646-0190.

PRAYER CHAIN POLICIES: Our church policy, decided by the priest and the parish prayer chain committee when we established the email portion of the chain in 2010, is that we do not publish prayer chain requests on our website, nor do we put them on Facebook, in order to protect the privacy of the individuals. We leave that up to the family members of the people involved. We let the person requesting the prayers, usually a family member or close friend, tell us what information to share. We are careful to pass on to the people who pray only the information or names we are given permission to share. Anyone from the parish is welcome to join our prayer chain and receive the prayer requests either through the telephone tree or through the email group.

Salad Luncheon - June Each Year
The annual salad luncheon is held in June each year in the Bishop Hogan gym. However, we are sad to inform you that our Annual Salad Luncheons for 2020 and 2021 have been cancelled due to the Coronavirus. We look forward to seeing you next year at our Salad Luncheon. Stay safe and have a great year.

This is their only fund raiser of the year. Proceeds are used to buy liturgical supplies for the church, such as hosts, wine, altar candles, vestments and sacred vessels. Without the donations and support from our entire parish, the salad luncheon would not be a success.
