Weekly Mass At Alvin Brooks Center
In partnership with Rockhurst University, we invite you to join Father Don Farnan for weekly Mass each Thursday at 12:15 p.m. (beginning June 11) at the Alvin Brooks Center Mabee Chapel (5401 Troost Avenue, Kansas City). All are welcome!
Learn more about the Alvin Brooks Center.
This weekly gathering connects people from across parishes and the city to share in the Eucharist, strengthen community, and support ministries serving our urban-core neighbors. It's a simple but meaningful way to deepen faith and fellowship in the heart of Kansas City.
Make this part of your summer rhythm. Come as you are, bring a friend, and take a mid-day pause for prayer and community.
Stay for conversation or step in for a quiet moment of prayer. Our Kickoff Gathering on June 11 will offer Mass followed by a light lunch. Guests are welcome to stay and socialize or take lunch to go.
St. Francis & Cathedral
of the Streets
Cathedral of the Streets in Kansas City, led by Father Don Farnan, is a vibrant collaborative movement among the urban-core Catholic parishes he leads—St. Francis Xavier, St. James, and St. Therese Little Flower. Learn more now.
Working with the greater community, we accompany the poor, serve migrants, advocate for justice, form young people in faith, and sustain communities where hope can sometimes feel fragile. Cathedral of the Streets helps amplify what already exists by fostering collaboration, shared formation, and a more unified Catholic witness in the urban core.
