A big Thank You to all the volunteers, the contributors, and the people who attended the 17 th Annual Germanfest on June 2. We had a wonderful meal, good music, and great socializing. The Germanfest has become better than ever, attracting people from as far away as Topeka, and Overland Park. The Church was beautifully decorated and the Mass was wonderful. It is always rewarding to celebrate our heritage. Many of our parishioners worked tirelessly to provide you with a delicious meal and a great time. There are too many to list here, but they deserve our special thanks. Congratulations to our Germanfest Queen, Diana Charron; our Wine Princess, Jennifer Walker; and our Germanfest Pop Princess, Samantha Elmer. All did a great job! Betty and Duane Olberding, Germanfest Co-Chairs RCIA In today s Gospel passage, Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is like the mustard seed, which is tiny when it is planted but becomes a large shrub, so that the birds of the air can rest in its shade. The Fathers of the Church saw this as a symbol of the Church, growing from a small beginning to embrace the whole world with the nations of the earth resting under its protection. We who are Catholic have a duty to bring the faith to others that they may come to Christ in the Church. Our RCIA program begins Wednesday August 29 th at 7:00 PM in Kinzler Hall. If you know of anyone who is interested in the faith, please invite them to come. They can call the Parish Office or contact Deacon Tim or Deacon Dean for more information.

Tom a fond farewell. Finally, I would like to wish all the fathers of our parish a Happy Fathers Day!
