Kim są Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa? W dzisiejszych czasach istnieje wiele przeszkód na drodze wiary, ale Mężczyzna Świętego Józefa to człowiek, który szuka Pana w swoim życiu: (Jer 29,13) “Będziecie Mnie szukać i znajdziecie Mnie, kiedy będziecie Mnie szukać z całego serca”. Nasz Pan Jezus Chrystus przyszedł, aby pokazać nam Miłość i my odkrywamy naszą rolę jako mężczyźni, którzy dostrzegają potrzeby inne niż poszukiwanie mocy i przywilejów (Łk 22,25). Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa to mężczyźni którzy "wspierają się nawzajem i wzajemnie się budują" (1Tes 5,11) i trwają w Bogu(Jan 15). W rezultacie Mężczyzna Świętego Józefa jest spełniony przez odnajdywanie radości życia bożego w celach, jakie odkrywa dla swojego życia (Kol. 1,9-12). Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa to katolicka sieć mężczyzn. Spotkanie w naszej parafii odbędzie się w pierwsze czwartek mieszanca, o 7:00 pm. Serdecznie zapraszamy. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
