Several people are receiving text or email messages that purport to come from Msgr. Kurwicki. These messages are from scammers. Msgr. Kurwicki will NEVER send you a text or email stating that he needs your assistance or gift cards. If you receive a text or email from Msgr. Kurwicki or any priest and are unclear if it is from them, please call the Parish Office at (573) 636-8159 to confirm that the information is correct. NEVER respond to such texts or emails as this simply confirms to the scammer that they have reached a live person. It is best to just block the sender and delete the text or email.
