We began in 2018, as a simple monthly gathering of young men; who wanted to strengthen each other, in the tenets of our Catholic Faith. We adopted the name, “JP2 Men’s Group”; after our childhood hero, Pope St. John Paul the Great.

Looking back, we can see that when you bring a group of Christ-centered young Catholic men together; accountability begins, life’s steppingstones come into vision, vocations become a reality, talents are shared, and a faithful brotherhood is forged among members. We are still that simple men’s group today, that also runs an organization; whose name describes a group of young men, who strive daily to serve God and neighbor: “Millennial Catholic Gentlemen.”

This year, we expect that more than 15,000 Christians will encounter our ministry, through MCG’s “Mobile Sacristy.” The Sacristy is an enclosed trailer, where the liturgical items required to celebrate Holy Mass; outside of a Church building are stored, maintained, driven to site, and set up by members of the JP2 Men’s Group.

The Mobile Sacristy plays an essential role, in the Sacred Liturgy at Catholic events; like St. John Bosco Youth Day, Mexican Fest, Ballpark Day of Faith, to name a few. If you have attended any of these events, you might ask; where did the altar, candles, hosts, chalices, vestments, and other liturgical items, come from? MCG is honored to have the trust and support, from both the Archbishop and the Milwaukee Archdiocese Office of Worship; to serve the Catholic Church in this unique form of evangelization, in the spirit of the ongoing Eucharistic Revival.
