The Men of St. Joseph is a movement of men that began in January of 2023 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Crosby, Minnesota under the direction of Fr. Eli Gieske. Initial large social gatherings and discussion among the men attendees led to the formation of a Leadership Team, development of a communication venue through WhatsApp, a plan to sponsor parish events, and a Mission Statement.

MISSION STATEMENT:

To encourage Catholic men and call all men to live their faith through fraternity, service, and formation in the Catholic faith.

CORE VALUES:

Fraternity

Develop strong, fruitful, and enduring friendships between the men of the parish to serve as an attractive witness to the Catholic faith.

Service

Provide opportunities for men to assist others through service projects.

Formation

Provide the means for men to be formed as disciples of Jesus.

Family

Help men to better serve their wives and families to strengthen and grow the domestic church.

Mentorship

Men who are inspired by other virtuous men living their vocations are more likely to seek excellence in their own lives and receive guidance to become better men.
