Men Are from Mars,
Women Are from Venus
This was the title of a book written in 1992. While I never read it, the title always intrigued me and I recognize that men and women think differently. It would reason that we as a parish need to offer some spiritual opportunities for growth tailored to each sex.
FJB Men’s Group: One of my favorite things is every Saturday a group of guys come together and we reflect on the Scriptures and being men. It is every Saturday at 9 am in the parish office. It is a great opportunity for men to get together and just share their faith with other men. You can come just once or every Saturday. Just stop in. I am there almost every Saturday. Men of all ages and places in life attend. It has become a source of strength for so many men in our parish and surrounding communities. Bring a friend!
MOMS after Mass: This is a group of moms who meet every Tuesday following the 8 am school Mass. They reflect on the Scriptures, being women and being moms. They bring their young children and there are toys and snacks. It is an opportunity for women share in the awesome and greatest choice in life, to be moms. They support one another in their faith journey in life. You are welcome to join them, just contact Kate at kfraser@srweuclid.cc or 216.731.1515 for more information.
Women’s Fellowship: This is also a group of women that meet the second Saturday of every month. They have a speaker to discuss various topics in spirituality/faith especially as it relates to women and their journey. They share in their common Christian sisterhood. Check out the bulletin for their invites or call Renee Barber at the parish office for more information.
If I can do anything for you, just let me know. I strongly encourage you to do so as it is a wonderful opportunity to grow in your faith and get to know other people. Sometimes people tell me “no one asked them,” well this is my personal invitation to you. I wish I could personally invite each person but that is just not possible so as you read this consider this my personal invitation to get involved.
Peace,
Fr. John
