Calling All Men!
Father Kapaun, a Catholic Army Chaplain during the Korean War, and and Medal of Honor Recipient, left a lasting impact on the world by
living a life of virtue. His life and example serve as inspiration for Kapaun's Men; men guided by the Holy Spirit and inspired by the
witness of Servant of God Father Emil Kapaun. Kapaun’s Men unites men in prayer, formation and discussion in order to courageously
respond to God’s universal call to holiness and become better husbands, fathers, leaders and friends.
This Lent, men of the parish are invited to participate in Kapaun's MenVirtue Series, a 7-part video series
with accompanying workbook that dives into the virtues as exemplified by Father Kapaun. Men from many walks of life help us to understand
what virtue can look like in men's lives today and encourage us to put it into practice. The videos and materials are available on
FORMED.ORG. Haven't subscribed to FORMED.ORG yet? Use the link to sign up for free today!
The series is free and begins March 1. Men of the parish can participate in one of three ways:
Join other men for weekly discussion of the material and video series on Friday mornings from 6:45 - 7:45 AM. Our time together will
include fellowship and time to pray with and for each other.
Can't make Friday mornings? Join our online discussion group at FORMED.ORG where a brief reflection on that week's video will be
posted along with a question (or two) for online discussion. We'll even include a weekly challenge for you to work on so that you may
grow in your relationship with the Lord and those you love.
or Gathering a few of of your buddies at your home during Lent to work through this series instead, just contact
Dennis M. Mueller at 215-947-3641 for details on how to set up your own home study.

Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary Appeal
Heed the Call
The Catholic Church in America just completed Vocation Awareness Week, a time when we focus on vocations to the priesthood and religious
life. Here in the Archdiocese, over 1000 students in our religious education programs and Catholic grade schools participated in Meet &
Greet Webinars with some of our Philadelphia seminarians. These webinars gave students insights into how a young man discerns his
vocation and listens for the voice of call in their lives.
Parishes throughout the Archdiocese also just launched Called By Name initiative, asking parishioners to prayerfully look from within
their own parishes for men who they believe have the qualities of a good and holy priest.
We are blessed in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia with numerous examples of these good and holy men, who God has called to the priesthood.
The Vocation Office for the Diocesan Priesthood, in partnership with Joyful Films, is excited to launch a new video about one such priest
whose compassion, understanding, and empathy characterize his. Fr. Douglas McKay, was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia in 1982. Following various parish assignments, Fr. Doug founded Our House Ministries in the Grays Ferry section of
Philadelphia in 1997 and currently still serves as Chaplain. As 'the living and transparent image of Christ the priest' (JPII), Fr. Doug
uses the power of prayer and the sacraments in his outreach to those who are struggling with addition.
We invite you to watch and see how Fr. Doug has received and transmitted the mercy, forgiveness, and love of God in his ministry.
In this time when there is so much bad news reported about priests and bishops, it is important to be renewed in the power that our Lord
Jesus works through the ordained priest, wonderfully exemplified by Fr. Doug.
