Each Wednesday, beginning May 15^th at 7:30am, Deacon Bob will host a Morning Men’s Meeting in the Parish Hall. We will be offering a variety of resources to help us become better men so that we may lead our families in living out our faith in the world, deepen our relationship with Christ, and provide brotherly support to one another. Coffee and bagels will be provided.  Meetings will end promptly at 8:30. We would especially like to invite all the young men in our Parish who are seeking to grow in their spiritual lives and lead their families to grow closer to Christ.  For more information, email Deacon Bob at deaconbobg@gmail.com.
