BISHOP PERRY’S PRAYER
BREAKFAST A SUCCESS!
The Catholic Men of Chicago
Southland Prayer Breakfast this past Saturday was a great
success! St. Kieran’s Men’s Club hosted the event. A delicious
breakfast was served to about 60 participants by our own Breakfast Club
team. The program included several inspiring speakers. Deacon Terry
Collins from Ascension-St. Susanna in Harvey spoke about a winning game
plan. Fr. Paul Campbell, LC talked about his conversion from
corporate life to Catholic Priesthood. Deacon John Rangel addressed the
topic, “what is God asking of me?” A summary of Bishop Joseph Perry’s
keynote talk follows:
Virtues of a Catholic Man
A Catholic man has some sense of what or whom he would
die for if necessary.
A Catholic man passes his faith to his children and sees
to their religious education.
A Catholic man informs himself about his faith, reads
Scripture, select Catholic literature, and studies the Catechism of the
Catholic Church.
A Catholic man insures that there are sacred symbols in
his household, such as, crucifix(es), Bible, and uses sacramentals such
as the Advent wreath, Christmas creche, etc.
A Catholic man leads prayer in his household at
significant domestic events, such as, birth, Baptism, graduation,
marriage, illness, death, and other special meals and events with use of
a passage from Scripture or other Catholic sources.
A Catholic man practices patience with his wife and
children.
A Catholic man invests himself in some project or
apostolate at the parish or diocesan level.
A Catholic man is faithful to his wife, his children, is
Church and his friends, indeed all his commitments.
Everyone enjoyed the experience.
Men of St. Kieran Parish be sure to attend
the next event in the Fall. Dads bring your sons! |
