Forge meeting and events

We have a number of activities scheduled for coming months that represent the four pillars upon which are ministry is built: Formation, Worship, Fellowship, and Service. We recognize that the men in our parish may be at different places in their faith journey but that we are all part of one Catholic and Apostolic Church. We formed this mens ministry to bring more of men together. Our regular meetings are on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Events we have planned occur on other days and some are repeating. Please see the list of events below, or view them on our calendar.
