Presenter: Fr. Minh Phan

Mission: Simple Ways to Connect with God

Fr. Minh Phan, a professor from Notre Dame Seminary, will be presenting the idea that if we truly believe in God, who is the source of strength and joy for us, then we must be very intentional in connecting our daily interior life with Him. It’s the only way to receive those gifts, not only for ourselves, but for our family and those surrounding us.

Troops of St. George Information

Posted on January 10th, 2022 By

Troops of St George

St Andrew the Apostle Church is starting a new ministry, the Troops of St George, the Catholic version of the Boy Scouts. The Troops of St George is designed for boys in the 1st Grade through senior year in high school. This is a Catholic ministry for young men and their dads looking for a life of adventure coupled with virtue. It uses the outdoors as a game with a purpose. The game – to go camping, hiking, canoeing, fishing, and other adventures; to learn how to cook, tie knots, first aid, and other life skills. The purpose is to grow one’s faith, deepen one’s relationship with Christ, nurture the father/son relationship, build strong virtuous leaders, and to teach citizenship.

If you and your son would like to join us on many different adventures, please contact the parish office at 504-393-2334.
