Emil Kapaun which made him such a heroic man and priest, and then to seek to live these virtues in their homes and with their families. Since no man can do it alone, Kapaun’s Men is a community where men can grown in these virtues together.” The men of St. Patrick Catholic Church meet on Friday mornings at 5:30am periodically throughout various seasons of the year.

Totus Tuus is latin for “Totally Yours.” It is a weeklong summer camp that helps children of the parish grow in faith by catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship.

Volunteers are needed to provide lunches and dinners for the leaders for the week, help in classrooms, and help with Mass throughout the camp.
