Father & Son Freedom Night

 
Men's Small Groups
 

Schedule a father/son event. It could be a single evening, or a Saturday morning.

Minimum age for the boys should be at least 13 years-old. (Be strict with dads wanting to bring younger sons. The needs of pre-teens are different and should be addressed in a special format that is age-appropriate.) Teenage sons living with single-mothers should get invitations from other dads and be picked up at their homes.

Here is a suggested outline that you can adapt to suit your local needs:
1. Show all, or portions of, the Every Young Man's Battle DVD. An opening remark could emphasize that every man and young man faces a battle for purity in today's X-Rated world. As men, we gain strength by facing this battle together, hence the reason for the Freedom Night.

2. Have a man share about how he has used a couple of action steps from the Breaking Free booklet.

3. Have a brief invitation by a priest to the Sacrament of Confession, especially for purity needs. Address the need to overcome reluctance to return to Confession if there is an on-going problem. Suggest a father/son policy that any son asking his dad to go to Confession is taken "with no questions asked."

4. Close in prayer, perhaps by saying a Rosary together.

5. If possible, offer Confession at the conclusion of the event.

This same general structure could be used by guys at a college "Campus Freedom Night."

Action Steps:
Talk to a friend, or your priest, about scheduling a Father/Son Freedom Night
