Ancient Order of Hibernians

President Andy Sprehe and Past President Larry Shepard met with Eric
Parrinello at Bacchanalia’s last month to present him with a plaque
recognizing his past support of the Fr. Bernard Donnelly Division and
its members over the past 3 years. Eric has provided a home for the
Division, since losing our previous location at McBride’s, for Division
monthly meetings and several events. Eric has always been a gracious
host and a good friend to us all. In recognition of his support,
kindness and friendship, the Division presented him with this plaque
declaring him to be an “honorary Irishman and Hibernian.”

They’re Back…. That’s right the band that famously had octogenarians demanding their money back at the first Irish Fest in Brookside is back! Not for the faint of heart of course, Flogging Molly is a loud and raucous mix of traditional Celtic music and well… punk rock. Catch them March 14th at the Uptown Theater

Playing at the Uptwon Theater. The show is all ages and also features outstanding Kansas City Rock N’ Roll band The Architects.

In addition to acting as a catalyst for change as they move across the country, Fr. Matt intends to raise funds for Catholic Charities of Kansas City- St. Joseph, Inc. for the expansion of the Caritas Center – a family center offering integrated and innovative programs for individuals and families endeavoring to lift themselves out of poverty.

The Caritas Center, established in January of 2008 and operating out of a 6th floor office in midtown, is pivotal in Catholic Charities’ strategic plan for addressing the root causes of poverty in Kansas City and Northwest Missouri. The blend of services at the facility is very deliberate. Clients who come seeking help for financial hardship also find mental health counseling, housing counseling, employment resources and financial literacy training all in one place.

Proceeds from the ride will benefit the Caritas Center and permit:

* Space for community education and training (i.e. financial literacy & parenting classes)
* Growth of current programs such as Foundations of Hope and Foreclosure Prevention
* Innovative program development to address root causes of poverty
* Enhancement of programs offered for Pregnant Women and Young Families
* Expansion of employment resources

DONATE NOW

Your contribution will benefit the many programs of Catholic Charities aimed at changing the cycle of poverty and it effects on children and families in our communities. In addition, your gift will help further Catholic Charities’ dream to build a one-stop facility with a range of services to meet the multi-faceted needs of people affected by poverty. This includes strengths-based case management, homeless prevention programs, financial literacy programming, employment training, and emergency assistance.

No matter the size of the gift, the intent from which it is given is deeply appreciated by Catholic Charities and most importantly, by the people we serve.
