Men of the Rosary + Fellowship: Helping Men Grow in Faith, Prayer and Community
Every Saturday at 7 a.m., men from St. Mark Parish meet to pray the Rosary. Their prayer is followed by an hour of fellowship beginning around 7:30 a.m.
“We need more strong Catholic men,” shares Ryan Kagay, one of the founders of Men of the Rosary + Fellowship Group. “Our mission is to form strong Catholic men to inspire their families and communities by exploring and exemplifying the faith.”

Men of the Rosary + Fellowship Group meets in the courtyard, weather permitting — in the event of inclement weather, the location is moved to the Chapel. Any man who wants to discover or deepen a relationship with Our Blessed Mother and other Catholic men are invited to join in the prayer and fellowship.
“This is a group in which we can deepen our relationship with Our Blessed Mother and discuss and learn more about our Catholic faith,” Ryan says. “Men are more equipped and inspired to evangelize when they have the support of their brothers and their Blessed Mother Mary.”
This group provides a great opportunity to grow in brotherhood with fellow Catholic men, and there is incredible strength to be found in brotherhood.
“Many men are looking for that brotherhood, but don’t know where to find it, or haven’t found the right group,” Ryan says. “The men of this group will all tell you that they feel like something is missing from their weekend if they aren’t able to make it. It is hard to explain until is experienced, but it is life-changing.”
Ryan shares that the Rosary is important to him because Our Lady promises us her help, protection, and intercession when we pray the Rosary. As a husband and a father, he is striving to lead his family to heaven and he believes that praying the Rosary is one way to do that.
The group also invites the men to bring their families on the first Saturday of each month to pray the Rosary and attend First Saturday Mass, reconciliation, and adoration as their fellowship for that week. This is a great way for men to involve their families in prayer and the church community.
