We need several additional volunteers to help make this a wonderful experience for all. Shifts are available between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm.

“The procession with the Blessed Sacrament…reminds us that we are called to go out and bring Jesus to others. To go out with enthusiasm, bringing Christ to those

we meet in our daily lives.”


~Pope Francis


Join fellow parishioners and Curé staff on Friday, June 28 at Curé of Ars for the second stage of the Mission on Mission Road Eucharistic Pilgrimage which will begin at 10:30 am. We will walk to Franklin Park with the procession. Transportation back to Curé or on to St. Agnes will be available.

St. Mary's Food Kitchen
Curé of Ars has served a meal every month to the hungry at St. Mary's Food Kitchen for over 30 years. This ministry is a great service to those in need and a great opportunity for Curé parishioners to come together as a community. Cure of Ars serves approximately 350+ people every third Monday of each month. We need your help.

Volunteers leave the church at 7:30 am on the third Monday of each month to serve lunch to the hungry in Kansas City, Kansas. Volunteers are also needed to provide food items such as taco meat, shredded cheese, baked goods, and fresh fruit.

How can you help? Please go online at https://cureofars.com/st-marys-food-kitchen to sign up to donate your food, water, time, and/or give a monetary donation.

Eucharistic Adoration Chapel

“Let the Children come to me…“ (Luke 18:16)


Each of us is a precious child, called to an intimate relationship with God through friendship and love. We are called as His children to open our hearts in trust, and to gaze upon the beauty of our Redeemer in awe. When we come to Adoration, we are handing God the keys to our hearts, allowing the rays of His love and grace to bathe our souls in the light of His Presence. Like Mary of Bethany, we are seating ourselves at the feet of Christ and letting His very essence pour down upon us. It is here that we find the better part. 


Have you considered spending an hour of your time at the feet of Jesus? Many hours are currently open in the Adoration Chapel. The schedule is now online at https://cureofars.com/adults-eucharistic-adoration. Or contact Lisa at 913.558.1187 or at lisawhi@gmail.com


Within the quiet of our hearts, we find God. Within the whisper of our souls, He speaks.
