The Brotherhood of St. Andrew
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is a men’s ministry group with the mission to inspire, empower, and equip men to spread the Gospel message. Started in 1883 in Chicago, IL, it now has chapters around the world. A portion of each meeting is devoted to each of the disciplines of prayer, study of scripture, and service.
Each year, the Texas Diocese of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew awards a scholarship to a high school senior who is a member of an Episcopal parish in the diocese.
Meetings are held on Monday nights from 6 pm to 7:30 at St. Francis. The group shares a meal and then has a Bible study and prayer.
Monthly Retreat on Compassion
On the first Saturday of every month, a group gathers for a book study and discussion on how to live a compassionate life and make the world a better place for everyone. Books previously read and discussed include Light of Assisi: The Story of St. Clare, The Love of Thousands, and How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith.
Meetings are from 10:00 am - 11:30 am at St. Francis. A light snack is served.
Sacred Ground
Sacred Ground is an 11-part series focused on the topic of race, grounded in faith. This program offers participants a framework for studying and gaining a deeper understanding of our country’s history from a range of perspectives: the Indigenous People who inhabited the land as Europeans came to the “New World”; those brought here as slaves; those who came to help build out the West; and those who came up from Mexico as land-grant owners.
Through group discussions, participants are encouraged to engage with and reflect on these different viewpoints, leading to a more complete and nuanced understanding of our shared history.
