FAQs
The men of St. Joseph Parish invite you to the next Men’s Legacy Workshop Weekend. The weekend is built for men of heart, thoughtfulness and humor, men who ask great questions within themselves, men seeking meaning, and men who are looking to put together a fuller, more authentic life. We commit ourselves to doing this in great company.
What Happens on the Weekend?
During the weekend, you will hear from a number of men sharing stories of change, challenge, impact, doubt, transitions, faith and where they are with the movement of God in their lives. Sacraments are an integral part of the weekend. We have our own Mass on Sunday.
Who May Attend?
All men are welcome. The weekend is for anyone looking for that elusive “something more” in their relationship with themselves, others, and Christ. You do not have to be a “spiritual” person or “religious Ralph” to attend a weekend. In fact, many men attend because they are naturally seeking greater meaning and connection. Just going “through the motions” doesn’t cut it. Many attend because they accurately sense that something is missing in their lives. Everyone is welcome.
How Long Does the Weekend Last?
The weekend begins around 8:00am on Saturday and concludes about 4:00pm on Sunday.
Do I spend the night on Saturday?
No, this is not a sleepover event. You can go home after we finish on Saturday evening.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code. Wear what you like. Comfortable, casual clothes make for a more relaxed weekend.
What about Meals?
You will be met with great meals while on the weekend. There will be many breaks throughout the weekend with snacks and drinks provided. If you have special dietary requirements, we will accommodate your needs.
How Much does it Cost?
The cost for the weekend is $65. (But if finances are tight, scholarships are available. Just ask. No questions asked.) If you want us to reserve a place for you, just complete the registration on this website. We’ll send you a confirmation.
Where and when is the Weekend held?
The weekends are held at the St. Joseph Formation Center, twice each year in April and November. Check the website for the exact dates.
