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.

The Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month {except in July, August & December), with social activities beginning at 6:30PM and business meeting starting at 7:00PM. All men of our parish are encouraged to join the Men’s Club—contact Dave Ryan at: daveryan214@yahoo.com

*Lectio Divina* is one of the earliest forms of prayer. It was practiced by the monks as they prepared for Liturgy and as an extension of the Eucharist in The Liturgy of the Hours. Lectio Divina gives you a good experience of all three levels of prayer: Vocal, Meditative, and Contemplative. It is also encouraged by the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a way to meditate! (CCC 2708)

Men’s Lectio Divina

Mondays after Daily Mass

Our process is to gather weekly as a small men’s group. We will read the upcoming Sunday’s Mass readings and meet for an hour, up to 1 1/2 hours. You can come to meetings as frequently or infrequently as you want. Since the topic is the upcoming Sunday’s Mass readings, there is no com- mitment to be there every week as in a typical Bible Study. We will meet every Monday at 9:15AM in the Masterson Room of the Masterson Center. If there is a change in schedule or meeting venue, it will be announced in the bulletin. To register or get additional information Please contact Skip Coale_skip.coale@gmail.com 410 707 8427
