The St. Gertrude Catholic Men's Fellowship aims to encourage men to gather within their parish communities to support each other via, prayer, sharing and fellowship. There are now over 200 such parish groups in the greater Cincinnati area (see the Cincinnati Catholic Men's Fellowship web site at http://www.thecall.org).

St. Gertrude's Men's Fellowship Group meets every 2nd and 4th Saturday in the school cafeteria from 7:30 - 9:00 a.m. Coffee and doughnuts are served and we promise to start and end promptly.

The St. Gertrude Catholic Men's Fellowship aims to encourage men to gather in support of one another, in a faith based environment, so as to form stronger and happier families to better cope with the stresses men face each day.

We gather each 2nd & 4th Saturday of the month in the St. Gertrude School Cafeteria from 7:30 am to 9:00 am Coffee and doughnuts are served and we end promptly at 9:00 am.

We discuss our lives in the light of our Catholic faith and share experiences that will benefit us as husbands, fathers and members of the community. We socialize, pray and discuss our faith as well as issues we are grappling with in our everyday lives. In this way, we support, affirm and offer insights to one another about the challenges men encounter in both their home and work lives.

Members of the St. Gertrude Catholic Men's Fellowship strive to reinforce Christian values. We reach out to share those values with others in the group and more broadly within our community. The benefits are clear as we:

Cultivate faith based friendships among fellow parishioners, and
Have fun, and
Learn from one another!

Background
Our Vision sees small pockets of men, meeting in Parishes, linked as Brothers in Jesus Christ so as to prayerfully – and unconditionally – support one another. To raise awareness and create excitement, we organized massive gatherings of Catholic men under the “ANSWER THE CALL” banner. Those events began right here at St. Gertrude in 1995, when Fr. Clem Burns was Pastor, and he hosted the very first Catholic Men’s Conference. We had to turn men away at that initial gathering as the Parish Center was overflowing!

During our peak years, over 10,000 men gathered for a day, in many of the large venues around Cincinnati, to hear nationally recognized Speakers. We celebrated Holy Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation with our local Archbishop, area Bishops and over 100 Priests and Deacons. It was awe inspiring to see thousands of men witnessing to their Catholic faith. Our Cincinnati community took notice, as did many cities around the U. S., and this movement took off.

What started in Cincinnati 25 years ago has spread throughout the United States and beyond to places like Guam for example. Events like our “ANSWER THE CALL” Men’s Conferences have been held in more than 60 cities over the years and there are countless Parish based Men’s Fellowship groups active around the country.

All of this has more to do with many men listening to this “call” on their lives, from the Holy Spirit, and responding to it.

The CIvic Friary® is a haven in today’s culturally starved climate of recycled skepticism, offering a refreshing and welcome break for you…a break from today’s hectic, “throw-away culture” of “busy-ness” and activity for activity’s sake…all while providing a new perspective on how prayer undergirds our active work and family life by animating our interior spiritual life. While Civic Friars prepare food to nourish the body, we are ever mindful of the Gospel according to St. John the Evangelist, Chapter Six, where Jesus tells us He is “the Bread of Life.”

We have Many Ministries in Catholic Action. At its base, this is a group for anyone interested in Prayer and Cooking. In the Traditional and Monastic approach to Culinary Service through Prayer and Work, or as in the Latin, "Ora et Labora" contemplative and practical activities in the Kitchen and on the Table.

Invigorated by a community of peers and mentors, young, Catholic professionals are empowered to witness to their faith at work and through work, performing their professional vocations for the glory of God and seeing the workplace as a natural site for joyful evangelization.

Catholics in their 20s and 30s today represent business leaders, philanthropists, young families and so much more.

The future of our Church and its role in American society rests on whether or not this generation decides to embrace the gift of their faith, living it in all its fullness in their workplaces, homes, and social networks.
Central to YCP’s mission of engaging young Catholic leaders is the importance of connecting them with seasoned Catholic professionals who have already made the choice to live out their faith in all aspects of their life. Young Catholic Professionals offers its members an avenue to engage with prominent Catholic executives in a way that is unique among young adult ministries.

Who We Are:

St. Joseph reminds us of the importance of stillness, reflection, and prayer.
Our mission calls upon the intercession of St. Joseph the Worker, our patron saint. Young professionals live and work in an environment of constant stimulation. St. Joseph reminds us of the importance of stillness, reflection, and prayer. To keep our mission prominent, the St. Joseph the Worker Prayer is read aloud at the conclusion of each and every event, reminding us to see all forms of work as true Christian work.
