This Saturday at Annunciation "That Man is You"
Men from PoP are joining with others from Risen Savior and Annunciation parishes in an exciting new inspirational leadership program. If you participated in "Men Under Construction", "Promisekeepers", or saw the recent uplifting movie, "Courageous" [which we highly recommend], you know about the crucial difference a man can be to his wife, children and all those around him.
The 2 year program begins Saturday mornings at 7-7:30 am with coffee, burritos, bagels, donuts and fellowship followed by a brief video, table discussions and a closing prayer by 8:30am;
Currently, about 50-70 men of all ages are in attendance. Singles, too...
The next session of the 2012 Spring semester will be at the Annunciation Parish gym this Saturday. Prince of Peace will host beginning, Saturday, February 25th. For more information, contact John Desautels in the parish office or call Steven Tomita at 270-8181. Visit the website at
