Dear Friends in Christ:
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but
might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might
be saved through him. —Jn 3:16-17

Fishing with St. James
Kearney Catholic High School teachers return to school next week and will have a staff retreat on Friday. The largest ever KCHS student body, likely to be 354 strong, will appear on Tuesday, August 12th for the first day of classes. This is an increase of twenty-one students from last year. The count includes fifty-four sixth graders and fifty-two seniors. Five years ago when I arrived as pastor of St. James 298 students finished the 2009/2010 school year. I want to commend the parents, parishioners and all others who support our school and provide this important opportunity for the spiritual and academic education of our children.
I have appointed Paul Brungardt to serve his first three year term on the Kearney Catholic School Board. He will replace Doug Hampton who served two three year terms and ended his time as the board president. I appreciate the service that Doug offered the school during his six years on the board. The other members of the board from St. James are Ann Huddleston and Dr. Pat Moore. Prince of Peace members are Eric Trettle, Roy Muesch, and Peg Abels.
Along with the administration, faculty, staff, and KCHS foundation, the school board serves an important role in guiding the school in a faith based Catholic education. I truly ap-preciate their work and dedication to this important ministry offered by St. James and Prince of Peace parishes in Kearney.
I am Joseph your brother, Fr. Joe Hannappel |
