Musicians John Ammatelli, Josh Batz, and John Legg from the band Big People join Father Don in discussing the value music plays in spiritual revelations. Now in their fifties, they reminisce about music in their homes while growing up, joining basement or garage bands while in school, and being impacted by music in church worship. They continue to play at local venues in Kansas City and regularly appear at the Brooksider Bar and Grill. Because music touches humanity’s soul, unites people of varying generations and cultures, serves as a universal language, and elevates us to a harmonious connection, they encourage song to strengthen our connection to God and one another as we touch the deepest parts of our spirit.

Welcome to Farnan

Spirituality Center!

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.

we are going."

Our Community Loves Us

"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.”
