Learn how to strengthen your
relationship with God and your
union with others.
The Roling Family hails from the smallest of many small rural German Catholic settlements near Jefferson City, Missouri. Steve grew up there while incorporating religion with our human obligation to work for a better society; from learning political engagement while on the staff of a U. S. Senator and vice-presidential nominee in the 70s to being friends with our state’s governor-elect, he tries to effect change in positive ways and encourage his children to do the same. His daughter, Susie, and her sister are his biggest fans. A third-time guest on Upon This Rock, she shares how his impact has guided her vocation of service in and around the Kansas City area.

Welcome to the Farnan Spirituality Center (FSC) website! “Welcome” means to come and be made well. It is my hope that you will be made well—or that your life is enhanced—by a closer walk with the Good Lord. Spiritual encounters, from group retreats or discussions to one-on-one counsel or direction, are good ways to strengthen our relationship with God and, subsequently, with others.
I invite you to peruse the website and indicate your interest, sign up for the monthly newsletter, or sign up for an upcoming retreat. And let us pray for one another.
"In the end, these things are only required: that you act justly, that you love tenderly, and that you walk humbly with the Lord."
— The Prophet Micah
Advent is a mystical journey. Mary and Joseph set the tone for us with their journey to Bethlehem. It is a journey of trusting in visions and locutions, a journey of being ostracized and ridiculed, a journey of believing in impossible things, an adventurous journey that changed the course of human history. Their journey weaves together aspects of this world with those of another realm; along the journey, humans and angels interact as their paths intersect to collaborate on God’s plan for salvation. For us, in modern times, the journey is about patiently waiting, expectantly hoping, and diligently searching. Read the full post.
"We are like travelers who have forgotten
the name of our destination. We must return from where we came to discover where
we are going."
— G. K. Chesterton
"I truly appreciate the use of musical references and other writings which you often use. I have been blessed to have attended small dinners and discussions where you have often used these same references to engage attendees. It always has left me with soul searching and a path to answering some very deep questions. Thank you for providing some more stepping stones."
- Helen V.
“Thank you, Father Don! Your good words help so many, and I love forwarding your encouraging message.”
- Peggy B
"Thank you for helping us see the connections rather than the differences in many faith traditions."
- Mary Jo C.
