First Friday Men of Faith

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 next First Friday gathering is Friday, February 7, after the 6:30 a.m. Mass. Our speaker is parishioner Kevin Gallagher, Vice President and Assistant General Counsel at Host Hotels & Resorts, with responsibilities Government Affairs, Litigation and Labor Issues. A graduate of The University of Notre Dame with a Master's Degree from Rutgers University and a J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center, Kevin is an active member of the parish, a member of the BS Bible Study program and is involved with numerous community organizations.
