Into the Breach: Men’s Small Group Study Series. Inspired by the Apostolic Exhortation for Catholic men written by Bishop Olmsted of Phoenix, the Knights of Columbus produced a video series which seeks to answer the question of what it means to be a man and how to live as a man in today's world. Come join us! Open to men of all ages. The reflection will run eight weeks beginning, September 26, 2023 through December 12, 2023, each Tuesday evening, at 7:00 PM, St. Peter Ministry Resource Center. It is a call to battle for Catholic men which urges us to embrace wholeheartedly masculine virtues in a world in crisis. To learn more and/or sign up Contact Robb Whalen at 219-363-0756 or Vic Stearns at 219-363-4313 with questions.
