Our second hour is an educational program that alternates each month between homemaking and spirituality topics.
Confraternity of Fathers of St. Joseph (affilated): Led by Founder, author and national Catholic speaker, one of own, H.O.M.E. DAD, Devin Schadt. Only come if you want to be the Father that God created you to be!
From the website: “The fathers of St. Joseph is a confraternity of men who follow the timeless wisdom and example of the man who was father to the Son and son of the Father. With St. Joseph as our leader, each father strives to become as he became – an icon of God the Father. As God the Father entrusted His Son to St. Joseph’s care, we also strive to entrust ourselves as children, who are fathers, to this father who will teach us to father, and lead us to the Father. This way of fatherhood is called Joseph’s Way – The Call to Fatherly Greatness. Join us on this journey to discover the power of authentic fatherhood. For more info visit fathersofstjoseph.org.
