Our Pastor

Welcome to the website for the 3 parishes in southern Dickinson County. We encourage parishioners and visitors to explore this website so that it can be a resource for you. Your feedback about our parishes or about our website is important to us. We are here to serve and here to support each other in our journey to know Jesus and to encounter him in the sacraments.  

Fr. Peter O'Donnell, JCL

By clicking, you will embark on listening to various podcasts that were also used for the Abilene Catholic radio station, 106.5.

The program is meant to be a supplement to what you hear on Sundays at Mass. It also is an opportunity for me to reflect on marriage and divorce, especially since I am a canon lawyer for the Salina Diocese.
