Progress continues to be made on the creation of an updated Master Plan for Queen of the Holy Rosary Wea.  The Master Plan will specifically address future needs for storage, meeting space, school/day care improvements and expansion, and Church accessibility, gathering space and capacity needs.  The Architect has provided concept options of the campus that incorporated input from Parish Organizations, Town Hall Meeting, and online comments,  The concept options were reviewed by the Building Committee, Parish Council, and Finance Council. Approval was given for the Architect to finalize development of the Master Plan based on the selected concept option.  The selected concept option identified locations for a new church, day care and school improvements/expansion while retaining our existing historical Church and Rectory sites, while giving us the most flexibility to execute any improvements or new construction in a phased manner and retaining access to our current facilities.  The Master Plan will include overall campus layout, campus space planning, Church floor plan, Church renderings/elevations, and conceptual cost opinion.  Architect should be able to finalize the Master Plan by the end of May.  It is important to note that this is a planning document and does not commit us to executing any particular element or a specific schedule.  This is meant to be used as a guide as we chart our path into the future.

Please be aware there are some "bad guys" that attempt to steal money, gather personal identification information or do harm to our systems by posing as trusted officials asking for you to click on a link, open an attachment, or send gift cards.  Some emails / texts look very official like they are from Father Jerry asking for gift cards or for you to help by clicking on a link. 

Please see sample text one of our parishioners received.  Father Jerry would never send anything like this.  

How does this happen? There are programs that the bad guys develop that scour the internet, bulletins, and websites searching for email addresses / phone numbers, or they hack phones and gather the stored address books. They then send authentic looking emails/texts trying to scam folks. Again, just delete them. If you ever have a question as to the authenticity of a parish email, you can always call the parish office at 913-533-2464.

Congratulations to all who were confirmed by Archbishop Joseph Naumann!  Thanks to all who made this possible.

This issue won’t go away, and we have to remain diligent in how we function with respect to cybersecurity.  We’ve all seen the news and probably have good firsthand experience with issues related to malware, ransomware, and identity theft.  The perpetrators who are producing these emails & scams are getting really good.  They’ve matured and can be very stealth in how they go about gathering information.  Please click the link below from Catholic Mutual regarding Cybersecurity Best Practices.
