Great Men Program

 

The Great Men Program is for men who are committed to being better. Being better means being fully engaged with our faith, our marriage, our fatherhood, and our friendships.

 

We invite all men to join in our mission for a powerfully engaged man in every home. Why? BecauseGreat Men value full engagement with other great men. We have so much to learn from each other and so much to offer to the great men in our community who are husbands, fathers, friends, colleagues, and Christians.

 

TheGreat Men Program meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month from 7:30-8:45pm. For meeting information, please visit our website.

This is not another organization to join. This is a program to make us better - led by men like you from St. Monica, St. Rita, and Christ the King.

 

We look forward to meeting you at our next event. Click here to hear Rick Sapio and Darren Smith's radio interview about the Great Men Program.

Keeping the Catholic Faith

​

Catholics in their 30s-50s – male and female, single and married who want to 1) learn more about their faith and how to put it into practice, 2) don’t have time to meet weekly and 3) want to belong to a community that supports and prays for each other. It's like a mini-retreat once a month, and we sometimes have service projects and socials. Adults only!  No childcare is available. We meet in the Family Center Room 201 from 2-4pm. Contact Angie Eckelkamp at keepingthecatholicfaith@gmail.com or 214-403-4772 for questions.
