Invite your spouse, mark your calendar, and join us for School of Love’s biggest & best Date Night of the year!
Friday, June 14th Date Night is at the Nelson-Atkins Museum (& two adjacent parks, Theis & Southmoreland). Date Night is followed by Art Tours at the Museum OR Shakespeare in the Park... OR go finish your date as you choose!
As always, Date Night is a free city-wide event for Catholic married couples of all ages, hosted by School of Love. It's low-key but classy, fun but important. We start your date with drinks, appetizers, and a short talk on faith, marriage, family… You finish your date at home or out on the town.
Note on Event Locations: The event starts at Theis Park. Theis Park is directly across the street (Emanuel Cleaver Blvd.) from the Museum’s “Shuttlecock Lawn” to the south. The (post-)event options continue across the streets at: A) the Nelson-Atkins Museum (Art Tours) or B) Southmoreland Park (Shakespeare in the Park). Southmoreland Park is directly across the street (Oak St.) from the Museum to the west.

Just remember, whether you choose to follow up the School of Love portion of Date Night with the museum tour, the play, or to go finish your date at home or out on the town... we're only starting your date; you're supposed to go finish it with your spouse! (BTW, we'll send you away with optional discussion kick-starter questions from the night's short talk.)
