Once again, the Fall River Diocesan Secretariat for the New Evangelization and the Men of St. Joseph apostolate of St. Francis Xavier Parish, Acushnet, are joining together to host this third annual Men’s Meat ‘n Greet. The early evening event will feature a barbeque, team events and supersized yard games, opportunities for fellowship, and a presentation by Jay Hamel, youth minister and men’s ministry leader at St. Francis Xavier Parish.
All men of the Diocese are welcome to attend.
Planners say this Men’s Meat ‘n Greet is not only for men who are already plugged into their parish and practicing their faith, but also for men who do not yet know the Lord or who are not currently living a life of faith.
On the grill at the “Men’s Meat ‘n Greet” will be pulled pork, burgers, hot dogs, and 50 lbs. of bacon! On the fields will be a variety of games such as axe throwing, catapult cornhole and target shooting with potato cannons and a giant slingshot. A team tractor pull will conclude the outdoor portion of the festivities before presentation, which will take place inside. The title of the talk by Hamel, “By Any Means Necessary,” will focus on the power of the cross, and helping our families to get to Heaven.
The cost is $20. and registration is required. Interested men may sign up online here or by using the QR code on the event flyers available in the back of most parish churches.
Questions should be directed to Deacon Chris Paul of the Secretariat for the New Evangelization, at 508-658-9089 or by email, cpaul@dioc-fr.org
