Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann
August 3, 2022

We are disappointed about the defeat of the Value Them Both Amendment yesterday. It saddens us to see the continued injustice for the most vulnerable among us, the preborn child, and the loss of protections for women who are vulnerable due to an unplanned or challenging pregnancy.
We express our gratitude for the overwhelming number of prayers, volunteer hours and sacrifices that so many good people throughout Kansas have committed to this effort. The joy, perseverance, and courage shown by the coalition and its grassroots volunteers amidst a very hostile opposing campaign is inspiring.
Unfortunately, we were not able to overcome the millions spent by the abortion industry to mislead Kansans about the amendment, nor the overwhelming bias of the secular press whose failure to report clearly on the true nature of the amendment served to advance the cause of the abortion industry.
The Church and the pro-life community will continue its tangible and compassionate service to women facing unplanned and difficult pregnancies and to women and men needing healing after being hurt by an abortion. In fact, we commit to increasing our support as Kansas becomes a destination state for unrestricted abortion.
The pro-life community persevered through 50 years of Roe. In Kansas, we will continue our defense of the dignity and sanctity of all human life. Life will be victorious!

This event will be held on Friday Aug. 19th starting at Holy Trinity in Paola, beginning at 5:00pm.

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.
