men AND sacred heart

Gents,

Welcome.  I hope many of you are checking out this site for the first time following the Christmas Concert. Another great turnout of folks to what is a great semi-annual event.   I find the intro of MASH at the concert this evening a completion of a full circle.   To me, having attended many concerts in the past, and not really knowing anyone there was a huge part of the inspiration for MASH.  Prior to MASH, in attending the concert I recognized many men, shared a friendly head nod and maybe knew them as the husband of so and so, but really knew even the names of very few men.   I was simply a man AT sacred heart....

So, if you are just visiting our blog and seeing our events.. I would like to invite you to be more than just present AT your kids events or school but to be with your kids AND part of the Sacred Heart community.   There is no challenge greater than being a Dad.  The impact a father has on his children is incredible.   The men in MASH are seeking ways to become better men, better Dads and better spiritual leaders of our households.  We are simply trying to find ways to become more involved in our own kids lives and working together to do this Dad job a little better.

MASH is free, we don't require attendance and we try not to ask for money.  All we are really after is your time and your input.   We feel we can all become better Dad's AND a better community by fun,  fatih, and fellowship together.  

I would encourage you to get involved -- go from an AT to AND -- your kids will appreciate it and you will to.

On a personal note, I have had the great opportunity over the last 4 years to meet and get to know many Dad's at Sacred Heart via MASH.   I have a whole new perspective on the wonderful community we have at SHCS.  

We hope to see you soon.  Merry Christmas
