The men of the SMMC treated their wives to a night of fun by taking all the kids for a few hours. The event was very well attended with over 25 families in attendance. The event included dinner, drinks and treats for the kids. There was also an open gym for the kids to play and burn some energy. We showed a feature film titled "UP" in the Oak Room. Both the kids and the Dads had a great time. Thanks to everyone for providing the food, drinks and organizing the games for the children.

Deacon Jim Shiltz from the Northside Parish of St. Constance which was founded in 1906 by a group of Polish Immigrants is Fr. Michal’s good friend and early on mentor. Deacon Schiltz talked about what it means to be a Catholic Man in today’s Church and society in general. It was an interesting and compelling discussion, which brought back many memories for everyone there about the examples set for all of us by our fathers. The discussion about the time when his family had to choose between two local Catholic Church’s (his father was German and his Mother Full on board Irish), one a German Catholic and one an Irish Catholic hit home for attendees on multiple levels.
If you couldn’t make it for whatever reason, you missed a great event. Deacon Jim is/was the head of his Church’s Men’s Club and stressed the importance of the Club for the Parish and for the Community. The value it delivers to the Parish and Community is immeasurable, service, faith, brotherhood and tighter bond between the Church’s leadership and the Parish is a much needed thing in these times, specifically in these times.

SMMC was honored to have Greg, a veteran of multiple tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq, speak to our group. It was a very engaging and insightful discussion on the impact that faith, family and community have on many of our soldiers. Greg explained the energy drawn from these relationship were the things that got him through his tours. Many walked away with a much greater appreciation for the sacrifices our soldiers make on daily basis in an effort to protect our freedom and that a small token of gratitude to a soldier goes a very long way. |
