 "COR"

The mission of Cor is to refocus Catholic men on Jesus Christ and to form and strengthen them in faith and virtue through a brotherhood committed to prayer, formation, and fraternity. The goal of each Cor gathering is to provide the opportunity for men to encounter Christ, to pray together, to be formed in their faith, and to strengthen their bonds of brotherhood, preparing them for courageous leadership and the mission of evangelization for their families and communities.  This group of men usually gathers on the Second and Fourth Thursday at 7:30pm in the Parish Center.   For more information, contact Tolley Gwinn at:  michael.tolley.gwinn@gmail.com or 757-272-7768.
