Men's Club

Purpose
The Men’s Club is a faith-based, service organization for all men of the parish community.  We are dedicated to maintaining our Parish as a strong and vibrant Catholic presence in our community and the Diocese of Richmond.  We provide services to the parish, social camaraderie, and spiritual growth while performing works of charity primarily for the Parish community.

Responsibilities
The Men’s Club is responsible to the Parish Council and Pastor for its general operations.  The club activities are posted in the Parish calendar.  Our most visible activities are the Chili Dinner in January, Pancake Supper on Shrove Tuesday, fish fries during Lent, and a wine-tasting event in the fall.  A majority of the funds raised by our activities are donated in support of a variety of Parish charities and activities.

Membership
We invite all men, 18 years or older, Catholic or not, who are registered members of the Parish to join the Good Shepherd’s Men’s Club. We welcome all members, new and existing, and we invite their ideas, enthusiasm, and individual talents and skills. We are honored to have Father Tony as a member.

Meeting Schedule
We meet the third Wednesday of each month in a classroom in the Good Shepherd Church.  Our meetings begin at 7 pm and typically last an hour.  We suspend meetings during the summer, from June through August.
