Happy Feast of the Triumph of the Cross! During Lent we focus on repentance and how Christ suffered out of love for us. Today, however, we CELEBRATE the triumph of the Cross over death, and how the Cross gives us hope and joy.
Tomorrow we celebrate Our Lady of Sorrows. This is a special devotion of our IHM Sisters - it's the reason they wear dark blue, and the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady (also known as the 7 Dolors). Our IHM Sisters have made some Dolor Rosaries which are in the back of the church if you'd like one.
Tomorrow our students will be praying the Dolor Rosary and we invite you to pray too. You can learn how to pray this special Rosary on the Sisters of the IHM of Wichita website here: https://sistersihmofwichita.org/devotion-to-the-immaculate-heart-of-mary/prayers-meditationsnand-devotions#one or via this document: https://5il.co/yzbi.
"I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy."

Wait…when are OUR school pictures?! Don’t worry, you didn’t miss it! We’ve switched to a new company this year so pictures are a little later than normal. Extra time to practice that award-winning smile 😃 School pictures are scheduled for Oct 6 (retakes: Oct 28). Watch for more details later this month.


Tailgating for Thursday's game will start at 4:45pm at the Farmer's Market pavilion. All are invited. A limited supply of hotdogs and hamburgers will be provided and everyone should bring a side dish or dessert and their own drinks. (Sponsored by football parents.)
