The Men of St. Joseph

 is an association of Christian men across the United States,

united under the Catholic Church, who meet on a

regular basis to learn and pray together and encourage

each other to be the spiritual leaders of their families.

We know it is a struggle to balance being a husband,

father, worker, coach, friend and spiritual leader. The

Men of St. Joseph understand that with each other’s

support and shared accountability, it becomes a little

easier. Most importantly we know that if we surrender

our day to day problems to God, we will be better

husbands, fathers and friends. Through Christ, we will

become the best version of ourselves.

We welcome all men to join us on this journey.

Please join us for our next WINGS (Women In God’s Spirit) Gathering on Saturday, May 10th from 10 am - noon. During this month of May, our theme will be "Our Lady, Mother of God". Because she responded "yes" to becoming the Mother of God, Mary is our first model of discipleship and our model of grace and trust in God. We look to her life of faith and draw inspiration from her. The witness of her life readies us to be people of immeasurable love and to give of ourselves wholeheartedly to a life of ongoing transformation.

 Pre-registration is required and can be done on our website (www.stjoenash.org\wings), or by calling the parish office at 603-883-0757, ext. 2. Early registration is encouraged as space is limited. We look forward to walking this meaningful journey with you!
