Icare Of Northeast Kansas Inc

IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE RICH TRADITION OF THE REACH MASSES, ICARE PROVIDES TWO ADAPTED MASS OPPORTUNITIES PER MONTH FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE ADAPTED MASS FEATURES REACH MUSIC AND CHILDREN'S LITURGY THAT WERE HALLMARKS OF THE REACH MASSES OF THE 1970S AND 80S. FATHER BILL BRUNING, PASTOR OF QUEEN OF THE HOLY ROSARY IN OVERLAND PARK, KS,AND THE PARISH COUNCIL OF QUEEN OF THE HOLY ROSARY HAVE GENEROUSLY AGREED TO HOST THE ICARE MASSES AND SOCIALS ON THE 2ND AND 4TH SATURDAY EVENINGS AT 6:00 P.M. ICARE ALSO OFFERS SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION FOR PARTICIPANTS OF ALL AGES AS WELL AS A BEAUTIFUL ADULT FORMATION PROGRAM CALLED "GOD CHATS". WE BELIEVE ALL CHILDREN AND ADULTS DEEPEN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BY ATTENDING OUR RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE CLASSES FROM 5:00-5:45PM, RIGHT BEFORE MASS. THERE IS A 15 MINUTE BREAK BEFORE MASS AT 6:00PM. AN ADDITIONAL SUNDAY GOSPEL READING AND REFLECTION GROUP FOR PARENTS IS RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTICIPANTS TO ENHANCE THEIR FAITH AND MEET OTHER LIKE-MINDED ADULTS WHO CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. ON THE 4TH SATURDAY OF THE MONTH WE CELEBRATE OUR ICARE COMMUNITY WITH A FREE DINNER AND SOCIAL. THE ORGANIZATION NORMALLY SERVES BETWEEN 125 AND 200 PERSONS EACH WEEK. DURING CHRISTMAS SEASON THE ORGANIZATION OFTEN SERVES 250 PERSONS WEEKLY FOR THE LIVING NATIVITY CHURCH SERVICE.
