In early June, Dan took three of the kids and travelled to Victoria, KS, his hometown and residence of his mother and two of his brothers. On that first Saturday in June, the famous "Cathedral of the Plains" was to be officially named a Minor Basilica, which is a very high honor. It is the only church in Kansas to be named thus.

| The procession has begun and in came the Papal Umbrella (it has a really fancy name), which is only opened if the pope comes to the Basilica. |

After Mass and a luncheon, Dan took the kids to the nature trail.
