About Savior Pastoral Center in Kansas City, Kansas:
Savior Pastoral Center was officially begun as Savior of the World Seminary in 1960, when Archbishop Edward Hunkeler asked the people of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas to contribute financially and spiritually to help build the high school seminary in Kansas. In October 1962, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Darby gave the Archdiocese title to the 100 acre plot on which Savior was built and in 1964 groundbreaking occurred. In September, 1965, the first classes were held with 94 freshmen and sophomore young men.
Starting in the early 1970’s, weekend functions were held at Savior by the Family Life Office and other Archdiocesan offices and Wing B was remodeled to accommodate overnight events. In 1987, the minor seminary program for the Archdiocese was transferred to Maur Hill Prep in Atchison, Kansas and the facility was officially renamed Savior Pastoral Center. Renovation continued with the addition of meeting rooms and a small kitchen, followed by construction of new Chancery offices in the former classroom building. During the 1990’s, Savior Pastor Center served as the focal point of spiritual formation and education for the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
The new millenium began with plans to remodel two major areas, Wing B and the auditorium. With generous funding in the amount of 1.5 million from Archbishop’s Future Full of Hope Campaign, the long-awaited transformation of Archbishop Strecker Suites includes 40 two-bed rooms and 4 one-bed rooms, with private shower/bathroom, carpeting, climate control and a wide range of business services including wireless and high speed Internet access. Guests discover a simple elegance in this area that also has on each level a Board Room, small Meditation Room, Assembly, Kitchenette and Lounge.
