Our Mission

The Saints Joseph and Francis Xavier Men’s Club provides an outlet for our 3 pillars – service, spiritual growth and social engagement – for the men of the parish. Members participate in the life of the church, support the projects and ministries of the parish, and provide physical, intellectual, spiritual and financial resources when and where they are needed. The organization seeks to support and encourage men of the parish to become authentic Disciples of Christ.

Every adult man in the parish is welcome! Whether you’ve just joined the parish or have been here for decades, whether you have kids or don’t, we encourage you to attend our next meeting.

Meeting and Activity Schedule

We will meet monthly to socialize as a group, review activities related to our 3 pillars, and discuss opportunities to engage in the coming month. Meetings will be held on the first Thursday of each month at 8pm in the basement of the convent on St. Joseph’s campus.

We hope to be launching a calendar of events that will be published here as we build initial membership.
