Masculinity In Today’s World

The Sacred Heart Knights of Columbus have been reviewing “The Virtue of Masculinity” by Dr Tim Gray at our recent monthly meetings. We feel that this topic is so important in today’s world that we are inviting all the men of Sacred Heart parish to join the Knights when Father Ron addresses us on this topic, Monday, May 11th. The meeting will be held virtually. Contact SacredHeartGR@comcast.net for an invitation.

The Knights of Columbus supreme council has also provided a Lenten resource which addresses what it means to be a man in today’s world.  Into The Breach is a new 12-episode online video series to help men prepare for Easter. Watch and share the episodes now!
