Churches
Living the Works of Mercy
As a ministry of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, we work closely with churches in our community to respond to the Gospel.
Like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37), we vividly see the call to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. Our Community Engagement Team is dedicated to bringing poverty awareness, education and hands-on learning experiences rooted in the Gospel and the Works of Mercy to those in our 21 county service area.
