St. Valentine Church

Catholic Men’s Fellowship

 As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)

The Catholic Men’s Fellowship (CMF) of St. Valentine Church offers Catholic Christian men the opportunity to share their faith and love for Christ through prayer and fellowship.  We gather in Christ’s presence to share our experience, strength and hope, and prayerfully support one another in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality.

St. Valentine’s CMF is associated with the National Fellowship of Catholic Men (NFCM) and the Catholic Men’s Fellowship of Pittsburgh.  Essentially, we are a group of Catholic fathers, husbands, and single men who get together to discuss aspects of our faith in God, and discuss how to apply our faith in today’s world. We meet every Tuesday, immediately after the 6:30 p.m. evening mass in the Newman House.  

Our ambition is to keep the meetings in a small-group format.  We are currently using a book entitled “Discipleship for Catholic Men” as a discussion guideline.  Each week the lesson gives us selected scripture readings, related catechism sections and a reading that portrays a real world situation that a man may experience in life.  We are then posed with questions that promote discussion in the group. We are also using audio and video materials to promote discussion and learning.

Your experience in CMF uses the study of both the Bible and the Catholic Catechism to provide you a good vehicle to bring the love of Christ into central focus in your life.  As our group evolves, we will consider other avenues to share our faith through fellowship, which could be anything from song and prayer, to even enjoying other types of gatherings (Steelers on the big screen?).

We welcome you to come and see if CMF may be what you have been looking for.  Please feel free to join us at one of our weekly meetings or to just find out more, please call Stan Solak (724) 514-7342 or Thom Mills (412) 979-6140.
