LEARN
Men’s Group Study
Understanding the power and purpose of men. Together, St. Mary’s Men’s Group gathers in a relaxed and casual setting to dive deeper into our faith to better understand what it means to be a Catholic man in today’s world. The topics vary each gathering, but the discussion is always “real” and engaging. As we, as Catholic men, embrace our call to pursue heroic virtue, we become better husband, fathers and leaders.
“Iron is sharpened by iron; one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17

Through interactions with other believers, and through developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, St. Mary’s Men’s Group equips men with the spiritual confidence and initiative to continue to grow in their journey of faith.
