CATHOLIC WATCHMEN
The Catholic Watchmen are men are challenging men, “as iron sharpens iron” (Pr. 27:17), to live out the seven disciplines. It is not an exclusive club, but a movement; not a product, but a prayer men offer together for the Church.

WATCHMEN PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to be faithful in following your leadership and actively participate in your mission. May I walk in your provision and never step out of your divine protection. Help me to be a faithful leader in my home and parish by walking in wisdom, sacrifice and love. Help me to provide for my family and my parish, both physically and spiritually, knowing that heaven is our reward. May I faithfully fulfill my duty to protect those entrusted to me, both physically and spiritually. Like St. Joseph, may I humbly fulfill the duties that have been placed upon me as a man of God.
St. Joseph, Pray for me! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
