This will be my first official visit to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Fort Collins, Colorado. I am looking forward to gathering with men in the community who are seeking to grow in their faith. The NO CO Men’s Forum mission statement says that this is a “Christian ministry providing FELLOWSHIP, ENCOURAGEMENT, and SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT through dynamic and inspiring Catholic talks for men of the community.”
Once I read the mission statement I felt a little bit of pressure as to whether or not I can measure up to the expectations. Am I able to bring a healthy dose of encouragement and spiritual nourishment? More importantly, am I able to do it with a style that is dynamic and inspiring? With the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit I will be up to the task. I will do my best to continue the dynamic and inspiring tradition that has been established.
