The OLP Men’s Ministry group meets on Saturday mornings from 6:30-8:00 AM for interactive faith and fellowship programs. The format includes professional video presentations followed by small group discussions about the topic presented. By learning about and strengthening our faith, men are challenged to be witnesses of Christ to the world. Inspired by St Joseph, we seek to grow in our Catholic identity as sons, husbands, fathers, and co-workers. We aim to support each other through our Catholic faith, grow spiritually, and strengthen our families. For more information on the current program email Chris George at ctgeorge.413@gmail or contact the church office.

ABOUT:
In this 12 week study, The Bible and the Church Fathers, you'll learn who the Early Church Fathers were and how they shaped the way we read Scripture.

The Bible and the Church Fathers will teach you everything you need to know about how the Bible took form. You'll learn powerful tools for reading it, and you'll understand Scripture's relationship to Tradition, and in particular, to the sacraments.

HOW IT WORKS:
A continental breakfast will be served from 6:30-7:00am in the Ave Maria room in the old rectory. From 7-7:30am the weekly video will be shown, followed by small group discussion questions until 8am. Although not required, the additional materials below -  including online access to the videos to watch again on your own, a study guide, and a supplementary books - are encouraged for those men who wish to delve deeper. These resources will help you explore the teachings of the Church Fathers, which go all the way back to the early Church founded by Christ! We'll learn from men such as St. Polycarp, who knew St. John the Apostle, and St. Irenaeus, who knew St. Polycarp! Your view of the Catholic Church will be changed forever by the Church Fathers.
