Yes, please join us at any time. This is a perpetually meeting group, and there's a spot open for you.
Finding support for your newly found or even lifelong pursuit of Catholicism can be a challenge. Finding support to foster a good Christ-centered marriage, family, and community seems even harder. We know every man needs support to attain these goals. The Men of St. Joseph have worked hard to create an environment where you can thrive, grow, and become the spiritual leader God intended you to be.
As a man you have a deep, almost instinctual call to accomplish and have impact. That need is what drives men to discover new worlds, develop new technologies, and accomplish “impossible tasks”. It’s also with pushes us to succeed in business, build, create, hunt, fish, and compete in sports. But in the end we are all called for more than reaching the mountain tops of this world. Our ultimate goal is much more significant: Eternal Life with Christ. For most of us that can seem more daunting than scaling a high cliff face. But the truth is that is what men are built to do. Men are called to be spiritual leaders. Our number one goal in life is not wealth or professional esteem but to get ourselves, our wives, children, and even our friends to heaven. It may seem an impossible task but it’s not. Our calling to become spiritual leaders becomes easier when we have the accountability, support, and example of other men all focused on the same goal. That is the purpose of the Men of St. Joseph. And that is why we hope you will join us.
The Men of St Joseph is designed to give you the structure, insight, confidence and support you need to help get you and your family to heaven. In the end we have to ask ourselves, is there anything more important than that? Join the Men of St. Joseph. Help yourself and your family climb that Most Important Mountain.
We, the Men of St. Joseph, are a group of lay Catholic men dedicated to becoming the spiritual leaders of our families by strengthening our faith and being “real world” examples of Christ. Our group bolsters discussion of faith and prayer life specifically for men, giving men new ways to reflect upon their lives and be better servants to God and their family. The result is nothing less than a revived culture, the same culture that Pope John Paul II called the Culture of Life.
Our mission is “To put the family in the hands of the Father.” We believe it is time for men to step up and take a leadership role in guiding their families, friends, parishes and their communities towards Christ and the fullness of His Catholic Church.
The hour-long meetings are simple. The meetings begin with group prayers from the Magnificat*, followed by prayer intentions, then a reading from the Gospel or an apologetic text, and finally discussion. Simply put: read, pray and discuss.
No, not at all. Men of St. Joseph are made up of men in all states of life, single, married, widowed, and divorced.
You become a member of the Men of St. Joseph by attending the weekly Men of St. Joseph meetings at your parish.
