St. Odilia Men's Club

St. Odilia Men's Club
As a Community Group of the parish of St. Odilia, it is our goal as men of the parish to support and promote the other ministries in part by hosting events and/or providing resources to encourage members of our parish and their families to live the Gospel by participating in the work of Christ within our families, our church, and our community.

Message from Men's Club President, Leon Haas:
Another year of the St. Odilia Men's Club has expired and a new one is fast approaching. As I look back at the highlights and lowlights of last year's accomplishments, a few things stand out. First and foremost, it is apparent that we are a parish of dedicated and hardworking men who are wiliing to give up some of their time for the benefit of the parish community. Having said that, it is also apparent that people are extrmemely busy with their lives and are finding it harder and harder to find balance needed to keep themselves involved with the acitivies of the Men's Club. Rather than being discouraged by this, the Men's Club is in the process of re-inventing itself.
While change is hard, it is also necessary, and the men at St. Odilia are up to the task. We are finding new ways to be relevant for the St. Odilia parish today. We are working with other groups to pormote a sense of "family" and "belonging" among parishioners. We recognize that we have an important role to play and we are in the process of better definig that role so that we can live it out.
As fall approaches and we start meeting again, we ask that you pray for us and our mission and consider being a part of us. We need your thoughts and ideas on how to better serve the people of our parish and perhaps, more than that, we need to get to know you. It is in knowing you that we know ourslelves better.

Quilts for the Needy

The group meets on most Mondays during the school year in the Courtyard from 9:30am to 3:00pm. We tie quilts and then convert them into sleeping bags. These are provided to Dorothy Day Center, Listening House, and Joseph's Coat. All fabric and supplies are donated. No experience is necessary and we welcome you to join us. More info: 651-483-3844.
