Catholic Men's Fellowship

The Mission

We are committed men, principally Catholic, who recognize our need for God’s help. We gather in Christ’s presence in an atmosphere of trust, equality and anonymity to share personal experiences and feelings.  Encouraged by the Holy Spirit, we unconditionally accept and prayerfully support one another.​

Our Purpose

  • ​To help men establish and nurture a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • To share personal experiences and feelings with other men in an atmosphere of trust and confidence.​ (The sharing is the teaching and the teaching is the sharing.)
  • To create an atmosphere in which men freely acknowledge their dependence on God in life’s successes and failures.  (Your crisis is your gift, and your weakness is your strength.)
  • To facilitate the discovery and development of the spiritual life and to grow deeper in our Catholic faith.
  • To encourage men to construct a more intimate relationship with family and friends. (All growth occurs in relationship & you become who you let love you.)​
  • To encourage men to grow and become who God intended them to be and to experience the joy of living fully and becoming all they were meant to be by the Creator.
  • To create a place where all of the above can occur while protecting confidentiality of what is shared.
