Hear what the guys say about the group:

 

"It's great to see a group of ordinary guys committed to finding ways to bring our faith into everyday life. No smoke and mirrors, no pretensions -- just open, honest discussions. And coffee. Don't forget coffee."
--Ted Toerpe

"It gives me a chance to listen to the Life Experiences of other men. - They've made it much more easy for me to understand my faith. I think I'm starting to get it. Jesus was The Man!"
--Steve Boehm

"I find that the struggles among men are shared concerning growing our faith in this world. It is great to hear men share their ways of dealing with this."
-- Richard Boomsliter

Make A Difference

 As we head into our fifth year, the Men’s Group has adopted a theme to guide our efforts:   “Make A Difference”.   

In Philippians we find that “Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God…emptied himself, taking the form of a slave…he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.”  The challenge for us is to ‘empty ourselves’, to get over ourselves, in order to be more Christ-like.  In doing so we can better serve the needs of God’s people as we are called to do in the gospel.  

A challenge has been issued to all men to make a difference in the coming year.  Large or small, personal or public, just commit to making a difference.  In your relationships, in your family, in your job, your church, your community, where ever it is that you are called to make a difference – do it.  Take action.  Make a difference.

What is Men's Group?

A collection of men in the Catholic faith who desire to grow spiritually as well as learn how to better use our God given talents in this life. Together we share in life’s struggles, joys, projects, fun and also an occasional beer or two.

What do you do?

We have bi-weekly meetings in the MQH meeting facility where the Gospel is shared and then interpreted into our everyday lives. How can the readings help us in our situation or condition now? How have we seen the Word of God played out in our lives or those who we know? How are we using the talents that were entrusted to us? This is often a lively and resourceful exchange among those in attendance.

The group is also involved in a variety of other activities such as service projects for the church or community, Packer parties, Brewer game outings, golf outings, etc. We are always open to new ideas. We also reach out and gather with our brothers in neighboring parishes.

When do you meet?

Well, this is for the strong willed, well disciplined, manly type of man who can rise up on a Saturday morning and attend at 7:00 a.m. That’s right, 7:00 A.M. on a weekend morning! Are we nuts? No, we are devoted. The meeting time minimally impacts a weekend schedule allowing men to participate in the gathering as well as meet their weekend obligations. It is worth it!

In the summer months we move to Monday evenings as the activity on the weekends pick up with vacation and outdoor activities. The meetings are at 6:30 p.m. as we share the Gospel readings over a beer together. (Hey, if Theology on Tap can do it…)

Why me?

Because no man is an island. We are created to travel this journey together, support one another in God’s name. It is a calling. It is through you that our lives can be enriched and hopefully your life will be enriched through us.

Check us out! Our schedule is on the right side of the page. Thanks for reading this far and we hope to see you soon either at our meetings or at one of our events!
