| History of Group | ||
| This group was formed in 1994 when a group of men from Rochester were intrigued by a group call Promise Keepers. Some of us, including Msgr. Donald P. Schmitz, went to several stadium events. It called for men to make special commitments both to God and to our relationships, especially our wives. When attending these events, you were asked to read "7 Promises of Promise Keepers." The book suggested forming a small group of men to meet with weekly to help hold you to these promises. Over 10 years later, we are still meeting and always looking for new members. It has grown into a more Catholic themed group focused on prayer and living God's word. | ||
