As iron sharpens iron, St. Mary’s Men’s Group challenges each other to reach their full potential so as to best Learn, Live and Lead.
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
LIVE
Men’s Group Social
Good times and laughter. The St. Mary’s Men’s Group social gatherings are a chance to hang out, relax and let off some steam. Activities vary and are an opportunity to interact with other guys in the parish.
“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” – John 15:11
LEAD
Men’s Group Fraternity
St. Mary’s Men’s Group welcomes men of all ages to be committed disciples of Jesus Christ and better husbands, fathers and men in their local community. 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. In turn, when Jesus is the center of all we do, men are better fathers, husband, and leaders – in the home, in the parish and in the community.
“Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life shall be many. On the way of wisdom I direct you, I lead you on straight paths.” – Proverbs 2:10-11
St. Mary’s Men’s Group
This next session of St. Mary’s Men’s Group will explore The Mass. Walk through the Liturgy and be transformed through insights into this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord. See how the Mass:
- brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm,
- how it resonates with a call from God and a response from his people, the Church, and, most importantly,
- how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.
This study will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life, the Mass.
The Saint Mary’s Men’s Group evenings are open to all adult men of the parish, no matter your age. Come for one, come for all. You are welcome.
