This month the staff of the Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas and the Stewardship and Development office, had the privilege of visiting Christ’s Peace House of Prayer in Easton, Kansas.
During our retreat, we read and discussed the Rule of St. Benedict, toured the 120 acres of beautiful grounds, participated in adoration and listened to a recorded Holy Family School of Faith Rosary meditation on St. Benedict in the Christ’s Peace House of Prayer chapel.
We are very grateful to Vince Eimer, Director of Christ’s Peace House of Prayer, as well as Marie Baranko, Director of Operations, for hosting us.

Are you looking to open an endowment for your parish, cemetery or school?
An increasingly popular charitable giving tool, a donor advised fund is a simple and flexible account that allows you to make charitable gifts and then recommend grants to your parish or favorite charity.
Creating a lasting legacy fund in the name of a loved one is a great way to honor their life or memory. This is simple to do through a named scholarship.
Are you curious about how easy it is to open an endowment, a donor advised fund or a scholarship at the Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas?
We would love to discuss your situation and philanthropic goals to explore your faith-aligned giving. Philanthropy really does start with a simple conversation.
