Step "Into The Breach" in Your Home Parish


Step "into the breach" at your home parish!


Our mission as men is encouraging each other to take the fire of the Holy Spirit, ignited within us, to our parishes and homes, because that is where we are Called to Battle. In order to keep that flame alive, we need to find ways to serve in our communities as a constant reminder of who we are as men.  There are many avenues in which to serve or stay fired up in this ongoing battle. 

Below you will find a list of ways to serve in your home parish, many of which are geared towards Louisiana, specifically, but are also nationwide or could be with your help. These organizations may already be active in your parish or you may feel called to start it yourselfGo for it! Or, just go straight to your parish priest and ask what needs doing!
