WE HAVE HIT PAUSE...
Due to the, at first, rapidly evolving and continuing health concerns of COVID-19, and with the utmost concern for the safety and well-being of both our members and our staff, the Maria Kaupas Center has made the decision to suspend all programming. Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, the Maria Kaupas Center will be closed for programming and space rental until further notice.
As an organization, the health and safety of our members remain our top priority. While the Center closure impacts the youth and families we serve, we believe it is important to follow the expert recommendations being made at the city and state levels to take this measure to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
We appreciate your understanding as we take the steps necessary to ensure the well-being of our young people and their families. Additionally, we will be taking time to examine the unique needs of our community given the circumstances of these times -- a global pandemic and a large-scale reckoning for a history of racism and oppression. We are committed to being a resource in this community and are listening as the community speaks. We will reconvene the MKC mission in action when the time is right and the needs require...
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the center via email.
​
In the meantime, we wish you blessings of health and safety...and justice.

ABOUT US
Founded in 2013 as a result of the creative vision of the Sisters of St. Casimir, the Maria Kaupas Center is a Catholic space where spirituality, community and leadership merge, creating opportunities for people of all faiths to grow and develop as effective agents of God's love.

Access to various enrichment programs in the fine arts, martial arts, culinary arts and fitness allow for members to broaden and explore interests. The Center's rootedness in the Catholic Social Teachings of dignity and solidarity invite reflection on self and on relationship, building strong individuals and community.
