St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Wilson, Kansas, stands as more than just a building—it’s a living narrative. Established in the late 1800s by Irish and Bohemian immigrants, it has weathered fires, trials, and triumphs. Today, it remains a community pivot point—a place where lives intersect, stories intertwine, and faith endures.
Recently, the church reached out to the Smoky Hills Community Foundation for grant funding to help replace deteriorating flooring and address an emergency boiler repair. Recognizing the church’s vital importance to the community, the foundation eagerly worked in support of their action.
By coming together, the people of EllsworthCounty have great power! Charitable giving is being transformed into community purpose!
