Into the Breach - Men's Study Group

“Into the Breach” is an apostolic exhortation by Bishop Olmstead of Phoenix which explores the need for men to step into the breach in the battle for the family. The Knights of Columbus has produced a series of 12 videos based on Bishop Olmstead’s work. Each session of the study group includes prayer, watching one of the 12 videos, discussion of the topic presented, and review of quotes from Scripture and the exhortation.

The ITB Study Group meets at St. Columba Church, Columbia, Connecticut. Schedule: 8:30 Mass, 9:00 Rosary, 9:20 ITB Study Group. Meetings will be at the same time, on the first Saturday of each month, except November which will be Nov. 19. For more information contact Karl Klein at karlklein1566@gmail.com.
