Catholic Watchmen, First Tuesday of Every Month
The Catholic Watchmen are men challenging men, “as iron sharpens iron” (Pr. 27:17), to live out the seven disciplines. It is not an exclusive club, but a movement; not a product, but a prayer men offer together for the Church. The Catholic Watchmen is led by the bishops of our Archdiocese and lay leaders with support of the Office of Evangelization at the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
The Catholic Watchmen meet on the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00-8:15 p.m. in Seton Hall. Refreshments are served at 6:45 p.m. Contact Deacon Rod with questions.
Upcoming meetings are February 7, March 7, April 4, and May 9.

Moms & More, Open to Moms with Kids of All Ages
Moms & More is dedicated to bringing mothers together for friendship and support, while also growing in together as women in the beauty of the Catholic faith. We engage in short-term, faith-based book and media studies that are pertinent to women, to motherhood, and to our faith. As sisters to one another in Christ, beloved daughters of God, and mothers – both spiritually and physically – we are moms and so much more! Please join us!
We are currently discussing a weekly Abiding Together podcast with Heather Khym, Michelle Benzinger, and Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT. Catering specifically to women, the hosts “provide a place of connection, rest, and encouragement for women who are on the journey of living out their passion and purpose in Jesus Christ.” Our themes throughout the next 10 weeks are “Woman as Daughter, Sister, Mother, and Bride.”
In February and March, we will be reading "Restore: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation."
This Ave Maria Press book is by Bob Schuchts of the John Paul II Healing Institute, with a Foreword by Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, and an Afterward by Fr. Mark Toups.
Beginning April 17, Moms and More is hosting a six-week session of Called & Gifted. Called & Gifted is a way to explore the gifts the Lord has given you, ponder how to use them, and put those gifts into practice to build up the kingdom of God.
We'll see you in the St. Boniface and Guardian Angels rooms! If you have questions about this Moms and More, email Anna Thomas.
All women are welcome and invited, no matter the age of your children.

Candidates are people who have been baptized in a Christian tradition but are seeking initiation into the Catholic Church through Eucharist and Confirmation. RCIA is a process of study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation with specific liturgical rites for seekers and inquirers. Contact Fr. Dave Hennen for more information on the RCIA program.
