You recently expressed interest in forming a local
St. Joseph's Covenant Keepers [SJCK] group. We thank
you for your initiative and your commitment to the
Faith.
Here are some suggestions for you:
Attend an SJCK conference
where the Eight Commitments are being discussed.
Bring along a few key leaders from your local
area. Our conferences are listed in the latest
issue of the SJCK Newsletter and are regularly
posted at our website, www.dads.org. You may
also contact our office by phone, fax or mail
for a list of upcoming conferences.
Introduce the Eight Commitments,
the foundation of SJCK, to your community.
This can be done by setting up an informal
group that can meet either in private homes
or at parishes.
Proceed by:
Using the Men's Small Group
Study Guide along with the book Christian
Fatherhood and/or the Eight Commitments Audiotape
Study Album. This is an 8-16 week course of
study.
Having a Group Bible Study
using the Navarre Study Bible or The Carpenter
Shop Bible Study Series - The Gospel According
to St. John by Steve Wood (10-12 weeks study).
Teaching children the Faith,
using the Faith & Life Series. We would
suggest getting at least three grade levels
for a group (e.g. grade levels 1,4, &
8), or specific grades based on the children's
median ages. Ask the Family Life Center for
the free tape "How to Teach Religion
to Your Children" which accompanies the
purchase of the Faith & Life Series.
Giving us your feedback:
your experiences, your ideas and your suggestions
for developing our apostolate and following
up on our conferences. Through groups we can
foster communication among men within a framework
of strong faith.
