The Men’s Club is celebrating its 41st year in the parish. We promote 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 provide opportunities for members to help their parish and community through many social and fundraising events.

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. We promote spiritual growth, social interaction, and a series of parish events to build community.

We sponsor pancake breakfasts, support to schools, food pantries, mini golf
outings, retreats, and youth programs.

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)

*Mondays after Daily Mass*
