Centered on Christ…Called to Be Saints…Inspired by St. Joseph |
|
In this month of December we celebrate our Savior’s birth! And while our Christmas gatherings may be smaller, His life has never been bigger, His glory has never shown more brightly and our world’s need for Him has never been greater.
Men, this is our time - when the world’s great brokenness meets our great preparedness! It’s time to truly be the Body of Christ; time to step up our game and pursue holiness; time to become the best version of ourselves...time to become well…saints!
|
|
Truly, with Christ, all things are possible.
Blessed Mother, pray for us!
Merry Christmas, Brothers!

CMM Board President

Pope Francis has proclaimed a “Year of St. Joseph,” beginning December 8th. Stay tuned as we determine how best to commemorate this year and this amazing Protector of the Universal Church. For more information and to read Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter on St. Joseph, Patris Corde (With A Father’s Heart), go to Vatican.va.
St. Joseph, pray for us!

To help all of us become saints, our ministry is focused on three initiatives:
|
|
1. INSPIRATION AND FORMATION |
|
Our Live Virtual Rosary – Thirty-five men joined together on December 2nd at 6:30 a.m. to pray the Rosary via Zoom. We would love to grow this powerful prayer initiative, and we just need YOU. Please invite other men to join us!
Our next Men’s Rosary will be Wednesday, January 6th at 6:30 a.m.!
Our Saint of the Month – Our ministry’s spiritual director, Father Wilson, continues his blog about some of the Church’s greatest Saints to inspire and intercede for us. December's featured saint is St. Juan Diego and the virtue of Hope.
Catholic Men's Ministry and St. Gabriel Radio (AM 820) are proud to present, Iron Sharpens Iron, a new podcast considered "talk radio for men" – available through links on our website (catholicmensministry.com) and the St. Gabriel Radio site (stgabrielradio.com).

2. SUPPORT AND RESOURCES FOR FAITH SHARING |
|
We will continue to help you establish or join men’s faith sharing groups at your parish or wherever you want to meet with other Catholic men. Studies confirm that when Catholic men gather together for regular fellowship, prayer and study, our faith in Christ and His Church grows and we advance on the path to sainthood.
