Easter Offering
Fifty percent of the Easter offering will be used for local outreach through Sheffield Place. Sheffield Place opened its doors in February 1991 as a community response to the growing population of homeless mothers and their children in the Kansas City area. Sheffield Place has assisted more than 1600 families in making the difficult journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Empowering the families to heal from the severe, chronic, and continuous trauma they have experienced is the first step in the process of self-sufficiency.
The remainder of the offering is used for the Cathedral’s mission and ministry. Please consider making a generous and sacrificial gift to support these ministries.
Offerings can be placed in the offering plate or made through the Cathedral website: kccathedral.org, by scanning the QR code to the left or texting “GIVEtoGHTC Easter” to 73256. Thank you for your generosity.
