NEW TIME AND DAY!  
Tuesday Mornings 10am -12pm October through May in the parish Community Room.

Their goal is to gather to share spiritual and social time together enriching their Catholic faith and friendship with each other.

The evening begins with light refreshments and then discussions reflecting on scripture, spiritual books or other relevant topics.  The women also take time to reach out to others such as taking on a family during our Caring & Sharing Outreach at Christmas time. 

You are welcome to join the group regularly or only when you can.

For more information contact: Jean Tosch  jtosch@rochester.rr.com or 585-223-5796

The gentlemen meet all year in the parish Community Room on alternate Saturday Mornings
7am-9am (See Bulletin or calendar on this page for dates)

This group originated in 1992 and their goal is to maintain and increase men’s
personal spirituality and knowledge of their Catholic faith.

After gathering with coffee and bagels, they will begin by reading the daily reflection from Living Faith (or another daily reader). Prayers, condolences, and blessings are then offered. At this point, they will begin to read from the book they have chosen. The reading is done in the group in small increments so that anyone can drop in and not feel like they are behind on the material being discussed. The time is then finished with a Rosary dedicated as needed.

Over the years they have listened, laughed and cried together and you are welcome and encouraged to join this wonderful spiritual group of men anytime!

For more information contact: Bob Hinds  bob.hinds@gmail.com or 585-223-7724
