Well, it is less about meetings and more about doing and being. We will meet every other month and communicate by email or text, depending on your preferred method. Our Men’s Ministry is a combination of building a men’s community in our parish, deepening our own understanding of faith and the role of a Christian man

If you are unwell in the hospital, nursing home or just at home recovering and haven’t been able to receive the Holy Eucharist, this can be a great loss for the faithful and for those who are feeling alone in their illness. Reception of Holy Communion is not just a comfort for many, it is part of the spiritual and physical healing process.

Last Tuesday night about 35 men from our parish met and discussed renewal of the Men’s Ministry. A good mix of both the seasoned and our more youthful men came forward—as well as a number of the younger men who could not make Tuesday night but did let me know that they wanted to learn more about the Men’s Ministry’s future. In the vein, I offer the following to ALL of the men of St. Catherine of Siena Parish:

The Roman government obliterated the city of Jerusalem in 78 AD, and then destroyed the place of Jesus’ death and resurrection. But, the followers of Christ were able to recall and venerate this locale even with the destruction. Our second reading this Sunday from Revelation (21:1-5a) begins with some very powerful words and beautiful passage of eternal hope

A Pope’s Name: Spiritual Symbolism, Regal Name Kendrick Lamar once said, "If I’m gonna tell a real story, I’m gonna start with my name." It's a long way from hip hop to the Holy See, but that sentiment is something both realms have in common: Names matter, and they can help tell a person's story.

Join us on May 20th at 6 p.m. at the St. Catherine of Siena fire pit and become part of the renewed Men’s Ministry of our parish, a special invite to our newer and younger men or anyone who is interested in developing a closer relationship with Christ through growing a deeper faith life and by way of the inspired actions—good works—of a faithful Catholic man
