STEWARDSHIP: “…do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27). Our limited human understanding cannot begin to understand the immense power of God. Instead of trusting in God, we think we can control every outcome. The next time worry, anxiety or fear creeps in, thank God for all He has given you and trust that He has a better plan for you.
A FATHER'S DAY REMEMBRANCE Please take a Father's Day Offering envelope to remember your Father (living or deceased). Return
envelopes by June 13th and they will be placed on the Altar at the Father's Day Masses to honor them.

He recruits men through phone calls, emails, one-to-one contact, registration for the conference, and possibly arranges a group of men to get there! Come join our brotherhood of leaders and experience the joy of leading other men closer to Christ. Please help out by registering at www.ctcatholicmen.org.

Jesus calls men to become better husbands, fathers, and leaders in the world. Each man of God is given gifts to carry out the mission of the Gospel to share Jesus with the world! We are grateful for our brothers who serve where they are, and for our priests, who lead as servants of Christ. Our prayer is that men grow in knowledge, holiness, and the grace of God as they become who they are called to be in Christ. The CT Catholic Men’s Conference challenges men to take on the challenges of true grace-filled manly living. We know, however, that we can’t do this alone. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
