The St. Francis Men's Ministry was created to offer men the opportunity to minister to one another in the spirit of Christ.  The cornerstone of the Ministry is the monthly breakfast meetings that provide a frequent way for men to come together in prayer and fellowship.  The Men's Ministry provides a safe haven for men to meet other Christian men for friendship, advice, the sharing of our journey through life, and a smooth transition for involvement in other activities with the St. Francis Community.  A yearly retreat is held each fall.

MINISTRY MEMBER QUOTES
On the yearly retreat: “What a great way to recharge my batteries!” 

“I look forward to the retreat every year.” 

“The Men’s Ministry has helped me meet other men willing to share common questions of living.” 

“What a great way for a man to move into other ministries within St. Francis.”

“Cursillo changed my life.”

MONTHLY BREAKFAST
On the first Monday of the month, the Men’s Ministry meets for breakfast in Founder's Room from 7 AM – 8 AM. The usual format is a light breakfast followed by a talk (Witness, Spiritual, or Instructional) given by a guest speaker. Discussion is encouraged and follow up information is provided. It’s a great way to start the day and the week. A donation is requested to cover the expense of breakfast and newcomers are especially welcome to attend.

ANNUAL RETREAT
Every fall, the Men’s Ministry sponsors a retreat. This is an annual event the men use to “recharge” themselves. This year the retreat will be on October 8-10, 2010 at St. Francis Springs.  For more information, please contact the Family Life office at 847-8205x244 or email Gladys.
