Spiritual Life
Brothers of the Cross
This is a father/son club (ages 4-16). This club focuses on providing a Catholic environment for boys to interact with each other, learn about what it means to be a leader for Christ, and have fun at the same time. The fathers participate in teaching the boys virtues, discuss gospel readings, study the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Apologetics. We are also a competitive group who engages in a wide variety of sporting activities at each of our club meetings. We believe that dads have the primary role for teaching our boys to be leaders for Christ, on and off the field. Throughout the year, we have regular guest speakers from Fr. Jay and other priests/religious who give spiritual talks and offer our club spiritual guidance.
