Men of Faith Meets Wednesdays
The St. Michael’s Men of Faith ministry invites men of all ages to join us weekly on Wednesdays on the south lanai from 5:30 – 6:30 PM following Evening Prayer and Benediction at 5pm. Together, we seek to grow closer to Christ and His Church. Our Purpose is to encourage men to become daily followers of Christ. Biblical basis: Luke 9:23 – Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Our Mission is to help men renew their minds and transform their hearts and lives for Christ. Biblical basis: Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.” Our weekly gathering is a review and reflection upon the prior Sunday’s readings and discussion of how they help draw us nearer to Christ and to live in the Faith. Contact Deacon Craig Camello ([email protected]) or John Czajkowski ([email protected]) for more information.

Traveling Neighborhood Rosary Inspires Community Prayer
“The Holy Rosary not only serves admirably to overcome the enemies of God and religion but is also a stimulus and spur to the practice of evangelical virtues which it injects and cultivates in our souls. Above all, it nourishes the Catholic Faith, which flourishes again precisely in opportune meditation on the sacred mysteries, and raises minds to the truths revealed to us by God”. – Pius XI. Display the statue of the Blessed Mother in your home and invite your Catholic neighbors to pray the Rosary with your family. For more information, call Beth Smith at (760) 212-4533.
