Men of the Word, brothers in Christ.

An Ongoing Men's Group and Bible Study

For men who feel the Lord Jesus calling them into a deeper life of prayer, discipleship, and union with Him.

Together, we will journey in brotherhood—sharing openly, supporting one another, and holding each other accountable as we seek ongoing conversion and spiritual growth.

As we draw closer to God in prayer, we will begin to experience His presence more deeply—discovering His love, His peace, our true identity, and our ultimate purpose in Christ. Through His Word, we will truly encounter the living Jesus. 

Each meeting will center on the Gospel reading for the upcoming Sunday Mass, allowing Jesus to guide and teach us through Scripture. During the week, our personal prayer will be enriched by reflections from Fr. John Bartunek’s powerful book, The Better Part.

First and third Saturdays 9:15-11:15—Ongoing. Jump in at any time!

Charity & Truth: A Catholic Vision for Political Renewal

A 12-week study for men seeking to live their faith in public life.

As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, how are we called to live not only as citizens, but as disciples of Jesus Christ? Drawing from Archbishop William E. Lori’s pastoral letter In Charity and Truth: Toward a Renewed Political Culture, this study invites men to prayerfully reflect on the political and cultural tensions of our time through the lens of Sacred Scripture and Catholic social teaching.

Rather than giving us strategies for changing our culture, this study begins with the transformation of our own hearts. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be leaven in the dough, salt of the earth, and light for the world—witnesses to charity and truth in a divided world. Through prayer, thoughtful discussion, and spiritual reflection, we’ll consider how Christ is calling us to renewed conversion and faithful engagement in the life of our nation.

Every 2nd, 3rd and 4th Monday of the month beginning on September 14TH

Spiritual Motherhood: The Transforming Power of the Feminine Genius

A 22-week Walking with Purpose Bible study for women of all ages.

Open the door to your heart and discover the transforming power of your feminine genius. In this 22-week Walking with Purpose Bible study, Spiritual Motherhood: The Transforming Power of the Feminine Genius, explore what it means to fully bear the image of God and embrace the unique call He has placed on your life.

Spiritual motherhood is not reserved for biological mothers or women who have made religious vows. It is a call to a new way of seeing and a radical gift of self—a beautiful expression of the feminine genius that can transform our families, communities, and an increasingly dehumanizing culture.

The study is free; participants only need to purchase the book.

Mondays, beginning September 14th

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH

An Ongoing Men's Group and Bible Study

We welcome all men with a desire to go deeper in their faith and to connect with other men on the same journey. Straight Up Scripture is a year-round men’s Bible study and discipleship group focused on God’s Word and real-life application.

This season we will be studying the Book of Isaiah, one of the most beautiful and influential books of the Old Testament, filled with powerful messages of hope, repentance, and God's unfailing love for His people. Its prophecies point again and again to the coming Messiah, making it especially meaningful for Christians seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus and God's plan of salvation. Join us as we explore Isaiah's rich imagery, timeless wisdom, and enduring call to trust the Lord, allowing these ancient words to strengthen our faith today.

Come as you are. All you need is a Bible and a heart open to the Holy Spirit.
