Restoring History, Renewing Hope: Rebuild Mary Queen of Angels Church's’ Stations and Statues Fund


In the heart of Southeast Kansas, Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Church once stood as a beacon of faith and unity. However, fate took a cruel turn one fateful evening when lightning struck, engulfing the church in flames. The inferno left behind devastation – scorched walls, shattered statues, and a shaken spirit.



I'm Robert Elliot, a seasoned restorer with over two decades dedicated to revitalizing sacred spaces. Entrusted with restoring Mary Queen of Angels' statuary, I stand at a crossroads of determination and desperation. The recent inferno reduced this cherished church to ashes, leaving behind charred remnants of its cherished faith symbols, including priceless Stations of the Cross and Statues.

Yet, amidst the wreckage, resilience emerged. The community's spirit remains unbroken, and together, we embark on a journey of restoration that needs your support.
