Men of the Cross

Our purpose is to help men grow in their Catholic Faith and to apply it to their daily lives. We meet weekly to help men fulfill their roles as sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, grandfathers, workers, Catholics and neighbors. 
 
Our upcoming semester kicks off January 21 and will begin virtually via Zoom. Men of all ages and religious devotion are welcome. You can even try us out to see if it is a good fit. So if you want a deeper relationship with Christ a stronger Catholic faith please read below for more details or simply TEXT “menofthecross” to 84576 to join. See below for additional details.

We are constantly exposed to the temptations of an increasingly secular (non-religious) society, yet St. Paul tells us “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” – Romans 12:2. 
 
We will begin this semester using Zoom as an online meeting format and will hopefully transition to meeting in person soon. Each Thursday, we will start around 6:15 a.m. for those interested in fellowship with other men. Then from 6:30 - 7:00 a.m. we watch a video, followed by discussion until 7:30 a.m. 
 
We have participants who are single, guys starting families, men in their mid-life, empty-nesters and grandpas – the group offers a wide range of life experiences and insights.
