On the feast of the Queenship of Mary, Catholics from all over the archdiocese gathered with Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann for a candlelight procession and rosary. The event was sponsored by the Holy Family School of Faith Institute.

Archbishop Naumann led a consecration — of those present, the state of Kansas and the nation — to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mike Scherschligt, executive director of the School of Faith, led the rosary.
