Men of Virtue

“Men of Virtue” is a men's breakfast and talk held every second Friday of the month from 6:30-7:45 am. It is a collaboration of Chesterton Academy and St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church to grow a network of men connected by the desire to follow Christ in His Church and advance in the life of virtue.
