The name of our men’s group is a bow to a period in St. Simon’s history when young men were a part of this ministry. Now those young men are more involved in youth activities.

The purpose of the group’s efforts is to serve the life and outreach of the parish. Each year the men collect turkeys and other food items for distribution as Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy families in the area. The men sponsor a major fund-raiser for the parish annually at a nearby community recreation center — which has the additional blessing of much fellowship.

The annual “Men and Women’s Day,” brings in an outside speaker and designates the “Man of the Year” recipient. The men also sponsor the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper each year. They also, not insignificantly, contribute much physical labor around the buildings and grounds.
