About the Topic:

It's important for men to gather in a small men's group. But how do we get men to the parish? What's the most important thing once we get them there? We talk about this with our guest, Fr. Brian O'Brien.

Men's groups should focus on:

  1. Events led by men
  2. Jesus Christ as the focus
  3. Emphasis on reconciliation and the Eucharist
  4. Catechesis with a male perspective
  5. A commitment of the Bishop and priests
  6. Build off of existing men's groups
  7. Hold diocese-wide events on a regular basis
  8. Hold frequent parish-focused men's events
  9. Incorporating "dad-kid" events

If you desire freedom from those attachments — Freedom
