Equipping Men for Mission through Brotherhood and Leadership
If you ask Patrick Nieukirk why he stepped into leadership for Summit Men’s Ministry, he won’t start with strategy or numbers. He’ll start with brotherhood. “Today, men are isolated,” Nieukirk explained. “They’re leaving their families and struggling with addiction and loneliness. One in three men in the pews don’t have real male friendships in their parish. Brotherhood makes men stronger. It makes families stronger. It makes the Church stronger. That’s why I’m doing this.”

Roamin' Catholics
Common to modern Catholic life has become the dynamic of parish shopping, driving whatever distance we might to find the perfect fit.
