History of Men’s Group
The men of the Saint Edward the Martyr formed a new group on November 10, 2019 to serve and help the Parish in ways to be determined.
The group is led by Dave Huni and Mike Amsberry and is reachable through the group email: menofstedward@gmail.com
Currently, we are meeting Saturday mornings as a prayer group at 8 AM in the church hall. We hope all men of the Parish will participate in some manner and find the fulfillment service to others can bring.
India with Sibi
In February 2024, Fr Sibi returned “home” to India to start work in his new ministry in Bijnor where he is in charge of building an addition treatment center. The video at the link is a guided pilgrimage to Bijnor, Calcutta, & Kerala (Sibi’s home state). He was accompanied by four men of our group.
