How Can I Call Stage.initOwner() From a MenuItem On Action Method?

I just came from Is There any Way to Create A Child Window That Has the Same Properties as the Parent? and I tried to call stage.initOwner(((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow()); but it didn't work and I got an exception. I don't think that I'm using this correctly. How should I attempt to call this from the onAction method?

ORIGINAL CODE BLOCK:

@FXML
private void onNewClanCreation(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("ClanCreationPanel.fxml"));
Stage stage = new Stage();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.initOwner(((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow());
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.setTitle("New Clan Creation");
stage.show();
}

Exception:

`Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: javafx.scene.control.MenuItem cannot be cast to javafx.scene.Node at com.gmail.physicistsarah.program.core.ControlPanelController.onNewClanCreation(ControlPanelController.java:65)
... 54 more`

EDIT: Added stage.initOwner

This worked: stage.initOwner(this.nameLabel.getScene().getWindow()); Thanks @ItachiUchiha
