Join us this fall for Men’s Mountain Respite—a prayerful weekend of brotherhood, reflection, and renewal in the heart of God’s creation.

Under the guidance of Fr. Martin Kraus (Holy Trinity Church, East Meadow), we’ll explore what it means to walk worthily as Christian men in the modern world. Drawing from Scripture and the Church Fathers, participants will reflect on how the labor of our hands, hearts, and souls can glorify God.
