Join us for a relaxed and meaningful summer evening as we watch The Chosen, a powerful series that brings the life of Jesus and His disciples to the screen in a fresh, moving way.

Whether you're watching for the first time or revisiting the story, come experience it in community, followed by casual conversation and reflection. All are welcome—bring a friend!

Stars and Cigars: New to CCSB is a gathering for husbands, fathers, and father figures to come together in faith to reflect on the struggles and joys of family life. The idea is to gather at 8:30 PM every third Tuesday of the month at a local parishioner home. The setting would be relaxed and welcoming, with optional cigar smoking—no pressure there.

While cigars are part of the theme, the focus is truly on conversation, connection, and reflection—not alcohol or partying. It’s about relaxing with purpose, and hopefully at a time that allows husbands and dads to still have plenty of family time beforehand. You can drop in for a few minutes or stay for a bit, come each month, or as your schedule allows.
