Annual City Lights Gala
Join us for an elegant evening of inspiring stories, community connection, and support for the formation of the next generation of Catholic saints.
St. Augustine described God as "beauty ever ancient, ever new." The faith we are forming people in is old — older than any of us, older than the Church in Kansas City. Yet it is a new experience every time a young person walks into their first Tuesdays gathering not sure if they belong, or meets their future spouse at a retreat, or comes back to Confession after years away because a friend invited them.
We want to celebrate that with you.
