Thank you to everyone that came out Saturday and helped with the middle school. It was great to see everyone work together! But we still have a long road ahead of us. Starting this Saturday, June 27, we'll be working every Saturday to fix the middle school building. This is a big, but much needed, project. As soon as repairs are complete, this will be the official School of Religion building.

If you are interested in volunteering or donating materials, please contact the parish office at (816) 231-0953.

Join Our Lady of Peace Saturday, June 20, 2009 at 9:00AM as we work to reconstruct the old St. Stephen's Academy Middle School building. The building is being renovated to later serve at the School of Religion building. This is a VERY big project and we ask for everyone's help. This is not a job that only a few people will be able to tackle.

If you are interested in volunteering or donating materials, please contact the school office at (816) 231-0953.

Sometime after the warm days of last fall, St. Stephen’s Academy shut down the three air conditioning units on the roof of their school. When they restarted the air conditioning this spring, they found that the systems were not operational because the copper tubing was gone.  Not only does this crime release a large amount of refrigerant into the atmosphere, the school community has suffered through recent warm days and heat and humidity are bad for newly installed network servers.
