Despite being late in the season, the Men’s BBQ this last Sunday was a perfect afternoon. The weather was just right as everyone enjoyed the fellowship, the information, and a grilled burger. Inspiration from Fr. Anthony, the Knight of Columbus, and our own President encouraged the group of over 80 brothers to
get involved in a variety of ways. This is so important for today, and I hope our group can continue to
grow and contribute to the growth of the parish.
Our sign-up for Men’s Ministry interest sheet yielded 7 people who should plan on attending our
November meeting on Tuesday, the 7 th in the Mission A/V room. This month our own Men’s Ministry
member and Project Manager, Gary Dorighi, will update us on the structural improvements to the
Mission. Pizza and adult beverages will be available to those who get there at 7:00.
Also, remember to sign up for our Fall Retreat, open to all men of the Parish. For several years now, we
have scheduled this for the weekend before Thanksgiving at the Franciscan Retreat House in San Juan
Bautista. You can do this at the Men’s Ministry meeting, or through our website. Fun fact from Skip: the
lake at St. Francis Retreat appears to be full of water again!
Finally, thank you to all who helped make the Men’s BBQ run smoothly. Your efforts were appreciated
by all who were there.
I look forward to meeting new members.
Yours in Christian Brotherhood,
-Greg
