Archbishop Naumann dialogues with Kathy White, the new Coordinator of Foster and Pro-Life Ministry

Every child is a precious, unique gift from God who deserves a loving family and a stable home life.  Sadly, each day in Kansas, children are removed from their homes by no fault of their own for a variety of reasons. Because care of the orphan and the works of mercy are part of the mission for all baptized Catholics, we have the grace needed to meet this challenge.  If only 2% of Catholics opened their homes to foster for even a short period of time and 5% volunteered in some way to help these kids and their families, we can help these children and the families who care for them THRIVE!

Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist, embarks on a global journey to rediscover and revive the transformative power of the Eucharist. Engaging in dialogue with notable Catholic figures, the film explores the biblical origins of the Eucharist and shares personal stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by the Blessed Sacrament. This exploration makes it unmistakably clear that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol, but is indeed Jesus Christ Himself — fervently desiring to quench our spiritual thirst with His boundless love.

Archbishop Naumann dialogues with Brian Westbrook, Executive Director of Coalition Life about the lies and misinformation surrounding a petition initiative to put a state constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot in Missouri.

A coalition of Missouri abortion-rights organizations has launched an effort to put a constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot to legalize abortion up until the point of fetal viability.   Soon you will likely encounter paid signature gatherers in public places in Missouri asking you to sign a pro-abortion initiative petition. The ballot summary is very deceptive claiming to protect women’s health and “reproductive health care.”  However, this initiative petition will put in the Missouri constitution a “right” to dangerous late-term abortions with taxpayer money without parental consent for minors and without the oversight of health agencies to protect the health of Missouri women.
