Imagine for a moment that you are St. Peter being called to follow Jesus from your fishing boat on the Jordan. You have been asked to leave all that you have behind and follow Him, follow Him to a life that is new and brimming with unthinkable joy, though unforeseen sufferings. One can only imagine the relief you would feel when looking around and seeing so many other men, just like you, who are excited and full of zeal but also just as unaware regarding what's about to happen next.

Like the original twelve, we, too, are on the eternal quest to grow in relationship with our Lord and discover the path he has called us to in our lives. Like St. Peter, we're called to experience unrivaled jubilation, and probably our own unique number of crosses. Not only do we need the Holy Trinity, but, like the apostles, we need each other for support, for understanding, and for the reminder of what it means to follow the call and live our lives committed to charity and truth.

So just how do we accomplish this?

• We WALK TOGETHER, side-by-side, on this journey that is our Catholic faith. We embrace each other for the unique gifts and vocations God has given each of us, and we support each other in friendship through both the sincere struggles and moments of greatest joy.
• We LEARN TOGETHER, understanding that to know the Lord more deeply through study and intellectual pursuit enables us to love Him more completely and evangelize His truth in the world.
• We PRAY TOGETHER, with the knowledge that the sacraments not only allow us to encounter Christ personally but give us the graces to grow in holiness and virtue.
• We SERVE TOGETHER, reflecting on the fact that we are called to be good stewards of the earth and our brother's keeper.
• We GET TOGETHER, sharing time with one another at a variety of events, both spiritual and social!
• We NETWORK TOGETHER, and stay connected to what is happening in our greater community so that we can build up our Church and the kingdom of God here on earth!
