Men of Saint Joseph
Wednesday Mornings · 6:00 to 7:00am · Great Room Join other men in deepening and living our Catholic faith!

We will watch the video one week and then discuss the corresponding chapter from the book the following week. You can read chapter 1 and come prepared to discuss the questions on pages 31-32 on Wednesday, October 14. All men are invited to join us! No preregistration is needed.
Exodus 90: Saint Michael's Lent
Challenge begins Wednesday, August 12 Fraternity meets Thursdays at 6:30am · Great Room Men: do you long for more in your life as a husband, father, and friend? Saint Michael’s Lent could be the beginning of a life more fulfilling than you could ever imagine. Break free from the pharaohs and idols that hold you back through a special devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel. Following Saint Francis of Assisi, who withdrew to a mountaintop for prayer and fasting, we will pull back from distractions and focus on the things that matter most. Our guide will be Father Columba Jordan, CFR, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal from Ireland. Learn more at exodus90.com/st-michaels-lent.
Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus were founded on the principles of Charity, Unity and Fraternity. Here at Saint Joseph, Council #4184 works to foster these principles in a practical way by serving in the community where they are needed. To find out more about their mission and what they are doing here locally at Saint Joseph, please reach out to Alan Egging at [email protected] (The council is a separate organization from the parish. We are pleased to have their strong presence at Saint Joseph).
The Augustine Way
Saint Joseph Catholic Church is hosting Augustine Way groups. This a group for men (over the age of 18) who desire to grow in chastity through becoming more fully alive, developing brotherhood, and growing in integration as a man. The group is confidential and allows men a space to seek support from brothers. In addition to processing, there is an evidenced-based 12-week curriculum to gain insight into unwanted sexual behaviors and help transform unwanted habits. Learn more or sign-up at sjwsp.org/the-augustine-way.
