Men's Mondays - Into the Breach
“And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land…” (Ezekiel 22:30)
In 2015, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted issued a challenge to the men of his diocese—to step into the breach. His exhortation, Into the Breach: An Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic Men, identifies the crisis of faith facing the Church today and presents a vision of the role of Catholic men in combatting it. Inspired by Bishop Olmsted’s vision, the Knights of Columbus and the Diocese of Phoenix have joined together to produce a 12-episode video series, also titled Into the Breach.
The OLG Men's Group will meet at 7:30 PM on Monday nights this fall in the new Multipurpose Room at OLG to view these 10-12 minute videos, discuss how they apply to our lives, and grow together in faith, virtue, and community. There is no cost to attend and you are free to attend individual sessions or the whole series based on your interest, availability, and other commitments. Feel free to come alone, bring a friend, or your whole posse.
Each episode focuses on a different aspect of authentic Catholic masculinity and features interviews with well known Catholic commentators and follows the personal story of a man whose life illuminates each theme.
