Men
Fathered by God
Men 35+
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here? Talking Heads: “Once in a Lifetime”
Do you ever ask yourself, “How did I get here?”, wondering if your life is somehow off track? Despite all your accomplishments, is life truly satisfying or are you still searching? Are you the fulfilled man, husband, or father you desire to be? Understand how your past has shaped you, and discover a new direction on your journey to manhood.
Wild at Heart
Men 21-35
“Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.” John Eldredge
Are you looking for fellowship with other men to reignite your faith, to explore the challenges of life, to forge meaningful relationships? Do you want to lay a solid foundation for the journey ahead? Together, we can unleash the warrior within us to wage a battle for truth, goodness, and beauty.
Come and See
Men's Vocation Weekend Retreat
“Master, where do you live?” they asked Jesus. “Come and see,” he replied.
Rather than a directed retreat, this weekend is simply to be with Jesus by following the daily schedule of the Legionary community of San Jose: prayer, liturgy, meals, housework. On Friday night we hope to do a street mission and on Saturday there will be a hike in the Monte Bello Reserve.
No fee for this event; donation accepted.
Ignatian Spiritual Exercises for Men
“Better than anyone else, the Holy Spirit will teach you how to taste with the heart and carry out with sweetness what reason shows to be for the greater service and glory of God.”
– St Ignatius
Are you seeking to discover the call God has on your heart at this moment of your life? For 500 years the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises have effectively given the tools to form a discerning heart: to hear God's call, to understand what influences your behaviors and choices, and to make a bold and generous response.
Personal Retreats (8-Day or Custom)
Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and rest a while. Mark 6:31
Are you looking to reconnect with God and nature, quiet the busy activity of your mind, and be replenished? Perhaps a structured retreat in the presence of others is not quite what you need at this point in your life? If that is the case, a private retreat (either directed or non-directed) may be just the thing you are seeking!
RC Men & Friends Spiritual Exercises
God, our loving Father is always pursuing us and calling us to his heart. This call of God requires a response from our heart to His. God has placed deep desires in each of us that are holy and good and were meant to be fulfilled and enjoyed within the context of eternal friendship with him. This is something that St. Ignatius of Loyola discovered over 500 years ago as, inspired by the Holy Spirit, he brought to life the rich tradition of Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.
