	LORD’S DINER	The Lord’s Diner, a not-for-profit soup kitchen operated by the community, for the community, and sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Wichita, provides an evening meal seven days a week, 365 days a year. It seeks to achieve this goal in a spirit of compassion, respect, and loving service through cooperative efforts with churches, individuals, and organizations. The Lord’s Diner relies on volunteers and their gift or time and talent to achieve their mission of “Responding to Christ’s call to feed the hungry.” To become a volunteer you must first obtain a Food Handler’s Card.

	MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER	For married couples of the parish, Marriage Encounter is probably the best ministries within the Church. A good marriage is one of the most important factors for happiness and is key for the children in the family. Give your marriage some time and effort and you will find that gift returned many times over.

	MEALS ON WHEELS (Weekend Delivery)	The delivery of meals consists of taking a cold sack lunch, and a hot meal to each recipient on a list of seven routes throughout the city of Wichita. The meals are delivered on weekends to people who are destitute and confined to their homes, and some who don’t have anybody to look after them. This usually takes one to one and a half hours of your time, 9:30AM to 11AM.
