40th Anniversary
“God had set his tabernacle in the midst of this neighborhood. He had taken up His dwelling place in one corner of the University of Kansas. He was in our midst. And I knew the struggle and hard work was all worthwhile. I anticipated the many wonderful and great things that would happen in this sacred space in the years to come, and He has done, as He promises in the book of Ephesians, abundantly more than all I could imagine.” - Msgr. Vince Krische
