Magis in Kansas City, KS & MO

We’re Cookin’ in KC

The Kansas City Magis Community began in 2014 within Cohort 13 teaching at Bishop Ward High School and Resurrection Catholic School while living in the heart of downtown Kansas City, Kansas in a newly renovated parish residence. 

Since then, the program has maintained a strong partnership with Bishop Ward and also partnering with Cristo Rey Kansas City, Nativity of Mary in Independence, St. Paul in Olathe, and St. Michael the Archangel in Lee’s Summit. The Magis teachers have enjoyed taking advantage of local restaurants and attending events (go Royals!) and festivals in the metro area.
