In a recent visit to a fifth-grade classroom at Christ the King School in Kansas City, Kansas, Archbishop Naumann spoke about vocations.
He asked the students to consider where God might be calling them, and got some enthusiastic responses: priest, swim coach, martial arts instructor, teacher.
In the course of the conversation, he found that one student had a very specific vocation in mind. A boy near the back of the classroom raised his hand eagerly and said, “I want to be the archbishop!”

It’s that time of year again!
October 20th will be a night to remember as we support the Catholic Education Foundation at its annual event, Gaudeamus. The Catholic Education Foundation provides scholarships for students with financial need to attend Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
Gaudeamus is our biggest event of the year. It has been on The Independent magazine’s list of Top Ten events in Kansas City for six years in a row!
Being chosen as the Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann CEF School of Excellence for 2018 is a great honor for us at Christ the King Parish School. We have a long-standing tradition of providing not only a faith-filled education for our students, but we strive to meet the individual needs of every child in our school. I wish everyone affiliated the Catholic Education Foundation and anyone who supports Catholic education could see the joy-filled students whose lives you are changing.
