Searching for Something Supportive and Enriching?

We share, learn, encourage and bond with spirited discussions on life challenges and what God calls us to be.

OUR MISSION:
Building up a brotherhood, by fostering a deeper faith experience through weekly small group meetings, monthly talks, and large group events.

SMALL GROUPS:
Where men learn and share how God works in their lives with opportunities to help others on the faith journey with hope, encouragement and prayer.

• PRAY – We open and close with prayer, with prayer petitions to hear the needs of the group and individuals.
• SHARE – Men share “Spiritual Celebrations,” where God has blessed us, or “Faith Struggles,” where others can offer support. (Sharing is optional.)
• LEARN – We cover varying topics from current events, the Bible, Church history and to teach we use DVDs, podcasts, and book studies. We also learn from each other’s knowledge and experiences.
• DISCUSS – Men are strengthened through personal testimonies and insights, which gives us hope to persevere – just listening is good too!

MEETING TIMES: The commitment is flexible, come when you can.

• Sundays 7:00-8:30 p.m.
• Mondays 5:30-7:00 p.m.
  • Catechetical Hiatus until 2024
• Tuesdays 6:30-8:00 p.m.
• Thursdays 6:45-8:15 a.m.

MEETING PLACES: Check the monitors for location.

MONTHLY GROUPS:
Once a month there is a presentation on a faith topic. These are presented in video form or given by a Priest or presenter, then there is a time for discussion.

MEETING PLACES: Generally in the FCC, but check the monitors for location.

LARGE GROUP EVENTS:
We also offer other ways to bring men together with movie nights, Chili Cook-Off, workshops, silent retreats, volunteering and other social activities.

CHIP CHAT

Men are invited to come hear about a topic, have a discussion, and enjoy chips and beverages in an informal setting. Chip Chats are held periodically throughout the year. Stay tuned for an upcoming event!
