Bishop blesses Adult Day Services

Spring was an exciting time for the program participants and staff at Adult Day Services (ADS). With the renovations completed, and all equipment and boxes moved from the former location, staff welcomed participants to the new building April 13.

In a happy coincidence, the new campus opened on the feast day of the chosen patron saint for ADS. St. Margaret of Castello, who herself was afflicted with several deformities, is patron saint for those disabilities and physical challenges.

Bishop Kemme and Wendy Glick walk through the new building.

“This new campus is truly a blessing for Catholic Charities and those we serve through Adult Day Services,” says Wendy Glick, executive director. “Thanks to a top-to-bottom renovation funded by generous donors, Adult Day Services has a home that will serve us well for years to come.”

Donors gathered at the campus June 15 to participate as The Most Reverend Carl A. Kemme, D.D., Bishop of Wichita, formally blessed the building to cap a ceremony that also featured recognition of donors and project partners. March 2020
