St. John Vianney &
Our Lady of Lourdes
Men's Ministry
Who We Are
We are ordinary men seeking to live out the extraordinary mission Jesus has given to each one of us. We model ourselves like Christ who is both Lion & Lamb: Lion, because we recognize the fortitude and discipline required of us by the Gospel. Lamb, because we know we are broken and wounded in need of mercy and divine assitance.
Responsibility & Mission
Don't shy away from your God given duty
St. John Vianney and Our Lady of Lourdes Men's Ministry aims to help every man recognize the great responsibility God placed on them as son, father, husband or any combination of these vocations. We aim to challenge men to live authentic Christian lives, pursuing lives of virtue, service, fellowship, and leadership firmly rooted in a deep knowledge and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. To provide a brotherhood of men on the same journey that offer unique gifts and counsel to each other. Ultimately, our purpose is to turn the hearts of men towards Jesus and aid in their lives towards holiness, which is a life of authentic freedom only found in Christ.
