Donations for Auction 2021: You should have
received a mailing last week with a letter and
supporting documents in order to get you ready for
this year’s 27th Annual Parish Auction! However,
there was one form missing from that mailing, (I
apologize), the Donation Form. This form is to be
used if you wish to donate an item or cash donation
towards the auction. A copy of the form as been
included in this week’s bulletin, however it may
also be found at the Parish Office or on the church
website under “Parish Auction”. If you have
questions, please call the Parish Office regarding
any of the forms!!!
St. Mary’s Prayer Chain Ministry. We would like

on the prayer chain list or to place a prayer intention
on the prayer chain, please call Agneta “Aggie” Kuhn
at 785-639-0641.
Adoration Subs Needed: If you would be available
to sub in for an hour every once in a while on

Notes from the Priest Parish Auction Update.
Our auction is four weeks away now! The auction web-
site is created. It is:
charityauction.bid/stmarysauction2021.
For those for whom we have e-mail addresses, we will
send out a link. You will be able to view items, but
keep in mind the order will change as we begin sorting
and placing items in sections (i.e., tables if in-person).
As of Friday, we don’t have a lot of items entered, but
you can view the website. Also, some “help” links still
need to be updated. In other words, although the web-
site is created, there will be some tweaking that is
needed before it is finalized.
The “In-Person” Tickets are ready for purchase. Stop
by the parish office to purchase tickets, call the parish
office to reserve tickets, or send in the ticket form you
received in the mail. Tickets will be available and
given out (or mailed out) as they are purchased.
Bring-in your item, or call and let us know, so we can
keep our system updated. We will be updating and add-
ing items as they come in.
You can purchase raffle tickets on line, send in the
form, stop by the office, or call to purchase. Note that
the Ranger Side-by-side raffle and gun raffles are lim-
ited in number and will be on a first-come basis. If you
purchase raffle tickets on line, the tickets won’t get
counted until they are paid for by a credit card. So, if
you want a ticket ‘in-hand’ call or stop by the office so
we can enter it into the system. The cash raffle has no
limit in the number you can purchase.
An item donation form is included in the bulletin. The
form was inadvertently left out from the letter sent out
to parishioners and donors.
We are still planning to stream the live auction and al-
low online bidding in addition to the normal in-person
bidding by “raising the card.”
FYI. Next Saturday (October 2) I’ll be attending my niece’s
wedding in Wichita. Fr. Rich will be covering the Saturday
night Mass for me. I’ll be back for Sunday Masses.
Respect for Life Month. October is Respect for Life month.
Next Sunday is Respect Life Sunday. This year, the Year of
St. Joseph, the Respect for life motto is “St. Joseph, defender
of life, pray for us!” Check out the bulletin board display in the
back of the church and the Respect for Life material on the
table.
