Companions in Faith

Activities are currently on hold due to COVID-19, but the ministry is communicating virtually.
Companions in Faith is a relationship between St. Michael the Archangel and Our Lady of Unity (Kansas City, KS) parishes through the suggestion of Archbishop Joseph Naumann.

The purpose of Companions in Faith is to bring our communities together to fulfill and respect the spiritual, temporal, educational and social needs of our parishioners through the sharing of our blessings.

We host many events, at both parishes, to build relationships and involve parishioners from both parishes. Some of these events include:
Tamale Making Event
Unity Fest
Service Day at Catholic Charities Mobile Food Pantry
Pulpit Sawps with the Pastors
Taco Dinners
Concerts
Devotions and Novenas

We have many opportunities to get involved including events, fundraisers, sharing your time at OLU and more. We would love to have you and your family involved. For more details check out the website HERE.

We are looking for volunteers to work one-on-one or in small groups on reading and math skills with students at Our Lady of Unity School. You can volunteer from 9 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. or 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The day of the week is flexible and as well as the frequency of your volunteer visits. You must be VIRTUS trained to volunteer but no teaching expertise is needed, just a willing heart to work with students.This is such a rewarding experience to get to know and help these beautiful children.

We are also looking for volunteers that would like to help on one-time projects for the school such as copying or organizing a book case or putting together a packet for students.
