The Tuesday Morning Men's Group Series' goal is to help men grow in their faith and become the men that God is calling them to be. It is a call to battle for Catholic men, urging them to embrace masculine virtues in a world at crisis.
Tuesday Mornings (ten weeks) beginning February 24 Following 8:00 AM Mass Room #7 Introduction to the Stewardship
As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace." (1 Peter 4:10). Indeed, everything we have is a gift from God that is given to help us return to heaven. Much more than focusing on money, this video introduces a spirituality of Stewardship that helps us recognize and receive all of God's gifts and share them with others.

Through hospitality, the first pillar of Stewardship, we become a visible sign of Christ's love for others.

Hospitality ContinuedYou cannot form Stewards if the pews are empty." Father John Lanzrath shares why hospitality is actually the first Pillar of Stewardship because it opens our hearts to receive the Gospel.
