The St. John Fisher Men's Prayer Group strives to maintain a regular opportunity for all men (both Catholic and all who wish to join us) of every age to share in the reading of Scripture for the upcoming Sunday mass, to allow individual reflection on how the Reading is uniquely “touching his heart” and offers a further opportunity to share his reflection with others to the degree he is compelled or moved. No commitment is needed and no pressure. Just drop in and join us anytime you're available on the 1st Thursday of the month from 7-8pm and the 3rd Saturday from 7-8am (followed by breakfast).
Further, the St. John Fisher Men's Prayer Group exists to support, strengthen and help maximize the spiritual growth of men of the Catholic Church through prayer, Scripture reading, communication and networking together by sponsoring regular casual gatherings for ALL men. We strive to promote the work of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Hartford and in the community of Marlborough, CT and its surrounds. In addition, we hope to create an environment of growth in discipleship in the areas of; Living as a Catholic Man, Marriage and Family, and Practical Spiritual Life.

Did you realize . . . One of the greatest traditions we have within the Catholic faith is having a Mass said for a loved one whether they are living or deceased. By doing this, we are offering Christ himself for the intention we indicate. Considering that the Mass is the highest form of communal prayer, offering a Mass up for a loved one is a beautiful expression of faith. Masses can also be said as an expression of gratitude, to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or as we are reminded by the Council of Trent: "for the living and the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities."
