This is a great opportunity to grow in holiness and become better disciples of our Lord Jesus. Kapaun's Men take their name from the heroic Catholic Priest and U.S. Army Chaplain Emil Joseph Kapaun. Born in the small farming community of Pilsen, Kansas, he became a hero of the Korean War. Captured while giving aid to wounded soldiers during battle, he died in a Prisoner of War Camp in 1951. On the battlefield, along a 60-mile death march, and in the hellish prisoner camp, Father Kapaun saw it as his mission to assist and encourage his men in any way possible. He rallied his 'boys' to continue fighting to stay alive, both for themselves and each other. Although he was only with them for seven months, the surviving POWs testify that his selfless example was the inspiration they needed to keep each other alive during the next two and a half years of their imprisonment. One of Kapaun’s fellow prisoners of war sums it up well: “Father proved himself to be the greatest example of manhood that I’ve ever seen in my life.” In 2013 Chaplain Kapaun was awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest honor for bravery in battle, and in 2015 his cause for sainthood in the Catholic Church was presented to the Congregation for Saints in Rome, which is currently reviewing the first stages of it. Clearly, Father Kapaun left a lasting impact on the world by living a life of virtue. We are called to do the same. This 7-part video series with accompanying workbook dives into the virtues as exemplified by Father Kapaun. Men from many walks of life help us to understand what virtue can look like in men's lives today and encourage us to put it into practice. Featuring two of Father Kapaun's fellow Prisoners of War, this video is sure to be a life-changing series. The series begins on February 19th at 5:30 AM in Bishops’ Hall and ends on April 8th. Sign-ups are available at the entrances of the church, on our parish website, or you can contact the parish office. Fr. Kapaun, pray for us! In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr.

We often hear about Jesus’ passion and death, but imagine experiencing them for the very first time. In No Greater Love: A Biblical Walk Through Christ’s Passion, we are going to walk step-by-step with Jesus on his journey from his agony in the garden to his crucifixion on Calvary. Along the way, we will unpack the biblical background to these events, the prophecies, and most especially, the ways Jesus is inviting us to walk more closely with him today. No Greater Love is a five-part Bible study program that begins February 24th at 7:00 PM .
