Catholic Men's Study Group
We are a group 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.
Membership
Open to all parish men
Meetings
Friday mornings from 6:30 am - 7:30 am, Meetings in the C.A.R.E. Center Living Room (Note there is a Communion service at 6 am that is not part of the Study Group).
