The men of First Friday Men of Faith (formerly known as Faith in the Marketplace) attend the 6:30am Mass on the first Friday of the month, then meet until 8am for fellowship, coffee, and doughnuts. A speaker, usually a parishioner, discusses the impact of faith on his life and work, and a brief question and answer session follows. We also assist the Blessed Sacrament community by supporting SHARE, our elderly, and our parishioners with special needs. Finally, the group looks for opportunities to assist others in the community in various ways, such as helping them get to Sunday Mass, supporting children with special needs, and addressing other challenges with its resources.
The First Friday gathering of men to discover how others live and practice their professions and faith in the marketplace is Friday, March 6, after the 6:30 AM Mass. Our speaker is parishioner Danny Hickson who started as a patrol officer with the Metropolitan Police Department and rose through the ranks to serve for nine years as a member of the executive staff before retiring in 2017. He now is an independent consultant advising clients on policing, intelligence, security and emergency management issues. Danny and his wife, Maureen, have been Blessed Sacrament parishioners for the last 12 years. Please join us next Friday, March 6, for this discussion.
