MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT: ST. LAURENCE MEN’S MINISTRIES

St. Laurence offers many opportunities for men to grow in their faith, have fellowship with one another, and serve the community through our various Men’s Ministries. If you are looking to grow in your love and knowledge of Jesus and the Catholic Church with brothers in Christ, consider joining one of the following groups that meets weekly: Men’s Bible Study (Monday nights or Tuesday mornings), That Man Is You (Wednesday mornings), Catholic Men Called to Be Saints (Thursday mornings). The Men’s ACTS Retreat (coming up August 8-11) is a great opportunity to get away with other men and reignite your faith. If you are seeking a faith-based fraternal organization with many opportunities to serve the community, consider joining the Knights of Columbus. All men sixteen and older are invited to our second annual Bro’s and Brisket on July 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Ave Maria Center where there will be a delicious BBQ brisket dinner, an inspiring talk, and an opportunity to learn more about all of the Men’s Ministries of St. Laurence. Register for this event at stlaurence.org/brosandbrisket.

Meet members of the Men's Ministry — visit the Hospitality Desk after Mass. Learn more about all Men’s Ministries and other resources for men at stlaurence.org/men.
