For Catholic Men

Some Resources and groups to help Catholic Men grow in their faith

Return to Fr. Coulter's Homepage Email Me Suggestions

Someone once asked me "Are there any Men's Faith Groups Available?" Realizing that things are fairly sparse if you don't join Promise Keepers (and I don't recommend you do), I started putting together this page.
Basically one has to find a few other men and found a group / chapter oneself, based upon a couple of models which are out there - most seem to have a similar format. (Some might argue that the Knights of Columbus should have a more spiritual dimension...)

For single men, a model for spiritual growth would be the St. Lawrence Society for men, founded by Rev. Thomas G. Morrow.

The St. Lawrence Society helps support Catholic single men in striving to live in accordance with the traditions, teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. The group meets monthly. The format includes praying the rosary, followed by a book discussion, then dinner and socializing.
An interesting article about this and many other Singles Groups in the Washington D.C. area.
