THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Men’s Group

We are committed men, principally Catholic; recognizing our need for God’s help, we come together in fellowship and sharing.

The Men’s group is involved both within and outside the Good Shepherd community including Cincinnati’s annual Answer the Call Catholic Men’s Conference that occurs during Lent; a parish Men’s Retreat, and a Charity Dinner for Myelin Disorder and other diseases.

We gather in Christ’s presence in an atmosphere of trust, equality, and anonymity to share personal feelings and experiences. We unconditionally accept each other and prayerfully support one another.

At a typical Saturday meeting, men spend 20 minutes in fellowship then the meeting begins with a hymn, a Scripture reading, and prayer needs. An hour is spent on a presentation by a member or outside speaker along with small group discussion of the topic. The meeting concludes with the Lord’s Prayer and business meeting topics followed by fellowship for those who can stay.

A number of men regularly attend the semi-monthly meetings and approximately 40 of us participate in the annual Men’s Conference. The group is always happy to welcome new members; all men of the parish, married or single are eligible. This is an opportunity to become a better husband, father, man, and follower of Christ in your daily life.
