The Men’s Club is celebrating its 40th year in the Parish. It promotes spiritual growth, social interaction, and a sense of parish and local community in conformity with all Catholic teachings. Members are an active cross section of men with varied backgrounds seeking to strengthen relationships among themselves, parishioners, and the Church. They assist in spiritual, educational, and social activities to support the parish and the local community. Members personally support many volunteer efforts.

The Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month (except July, August, and December) in Delaney Hall with social activities beginning at 6:30 pm. A business meeting starts at 7 pm and features interesting and compelling speakers on a wide variety of topics from throughout Sussex County.

All men of our parish including husbands of women parishioners are encouraged to join this religious social club, working for the good of the Parish and the community. Contact Dave Ryan at: daveryan214@yahoo.com.
