About the Watchmen
What does it mean to be a Catholic man? How does a man protect, provide for, and lead within his parish and family?
The mission of the Catholic Watchmen movement is to respond to Bishop Cozzens’ call for Catholic men to live up to their duty to be protectors, providers, and leaders of their families. To accomplish this task, Catholic Watchmen learn and practice seven Disciplines that we will unfold during monthly Rally’s. Each monthly Catholic Watchmen Rally runs from 6:30-9 p.m. with food, social time, presentation, and discussion.
From “Into The Breach” by Thomas J Olmsted, Bishop of Phoenix
“I am hereby exhorting you to step into the breach – to do the work of Christ’s soldiers in the world today.”
“The world cannot possibly give us our true identity; “Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s” (Romans 14:8). We must be aware of being distracted by false identities and remain grounded in Jesus Christ.”
Monthly Watchmen rallies include social time and appetizers at 6:30 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m. followed by presentations, discussion, and dessert.

A prominent part of the Catholic Watchmen movement is our weekly hour of Adoration called the “Night Watch.” During this quiet time of prayer we will be praying for our families. Confessions will be available once a month during this time. It is important for MEN to band together to help protect the family! Join us for the weekly "Night Watch" hour of prayer on Wednesdays in the Adoration Chapel at 10 p.m.
All men 13 and older are welcome to all Catholic Watchmen events.
