St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church
1001 E. 52nd Street | Kansas City, MO

Program: 7:30 to 9 pm

Join National Catholic Reporter for an evening with our Vatican and Washington D.C.-based correspondents and columnists. Joshua J. McElwee and Tom Reese, SJ will speak about Pope Francis. As his third anniversary approaches, what reforms is he making? What's his message? Michael Sean Winters and Tom Roberts will explore the issues important to U.S. Catholics during the 2016 presidential election.

Each speaker will make short introductory remarks and then open the floor to questions. This event is free and open to the public, though advance registration is appreciated.
