The Men’s Fellowship Group meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in Capistran Hall. We explore the truth of our Catholic Faith using the best available books and videos from recognized authors in the field. The evening consists of an hour and a half of hymns, scripture, videos and guided discussion.
