Our HR Men's Group will be starting Exodus 90 on Monday January 17, 2022.
"Exodus 90" is a 90 day spiritual exercise for men. The program is based on 3 pillars: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity which are all important aspects of the Christian life. Men who join the program will commit and strive to take on the following spiritual exercises: Make a daily holy hour; Read each day's scripture and reflection; Take short, cold showers; Practice regular intense exercise; Get a full night's sleep (7 or more hours); Abstain from alcohol; Abstain from desserts and sweets; Abstain from eating between meals; Abstain from soda or sweet drinks (white milk, black coffee, and black tea are permissible); Abstain from television, movies, or televised sports; Abstain from video games; Abstain from non-essential material purchases; Only listen to music that lifts the soul to God; Only use the computer for work, school, or essential tasks; Only use mobile devices for essential communication (cut out non-essential texting and internet use); Take Wednesdays and Fridays as days of fasting; Attend weekly fraternity meetings (one hour in length); Check in with an Anchor (friend doing the program) daily.
Our Fraternity meets weekly on Wednesday mornings from 5:30-6:30 AM in the Church basement with the option to come early at 5:10 AM for the recitation of the Holy Rosary. A weekly evening meeting will also be available throughout the program from 8-9 PM in the Church basement on Thursdays starting January 20, 2022. Men will also have the opportunity to attend Adoration before the evening fraternity meetings. Adoration is also offered on Saturday mornings from 6:00-7:00 AM for all parishioners and family members to attend as well.
