We are a groups of men from local parishes from all walks of life who meet every Friday to pray, study, and discuss books that help us understand and deepen our Catholic faith. We’ve met at St. Andrew for more than a decade – reading, discussing, and debating Catholic writings by popes, saints, and theologians in order to better understand our faith, and in turn to become better fathers, husbands, friends, and ministers to the community.

Meetings
Friday Mornings
The Saint Andrew Friday Morning Men’s Group meets on Fridays from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. at the parish. The group seeks to improve its understanding of the Catholic faith by reading and discussing books that will help them further their own salvation and that of their families and the whole world. Books are chosen by lot which allows for a variety of topics and authors. Recent books have been, The Incredible Catholic Mass, Saint Mary Magdalene – Prophetess of Eucharistic Love, and The Spiritual Combat. If you are looking to improve your spiritual life and you enjoy a lively spirited discussion of the issues facing the Church in the modern world this group may be for you. Please reach out to Brad (information below) for more information!
