Watch Party: The Chosen
📅 Tuesdays | 🕖 7:00–8:30 PM
📍 Our Lady of Good Counsel Hall

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. 

Men’s group meets every Thursday morning - coffee is on at 6:45am, the discussion starts at 7am, and concludes at 7:50am. For those able to stay, Mass in Holy Cross begins at 8am. No prep needed - just come and join in the discussion!

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.

Volunteers prepare and serve meals to the residents of Baltimore Station, then join them for the meal and conversation. While it’s certainly helpful to have extra hands to prepare the meal, talking with the residents and hearing their stories is even more valuable, for both you and the residents! The shift is from 5pm-7pm, and volunteers must be fully vaccinated to attend, per Baltimore Station’s policy.
