Mass With Fr. Don

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. 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.
