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 purpo

Unity Fest
Service Day at Catholic Charities Mobile Food Pantry
Pulpit Sawps with the Pastors
Taco Dinners
Concerts
