Brothers,
The Catholic Men’s Fellowship group at the [parish] will gather again this coming [day/date] from [start time to end time] in [location]. Please join us and bring a friend!
This week we would like to try something a bit different and use another kind of meeting source…
The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article about sharing Catholic traditions in the Catholic community and in parishes. We would like to consider sharing and passing along our Catholic Faith and traditions to other Catholics, younger Catholics, our families, converts and especially younger Catholic men. The readings and thoughts below are offered for our meeting. Please check them out!
