The future of our ministry, the JP2 Men's Group with its Mobile Sacristy; is only possible, through the continued generosity of our donors.
The mobile sacristy is a key element of MCG’s mission, providing liturgical items for nearly 40 liturgies each year. It brings an atmosphere of prayer and reverence to liturgies that take place outside of the church building. Your donation is now matched!
With your help, we can stock the sacristy.
With your generous support, we can continue our mission of evangelization in the spirit of the ongoing Eucharistic Revival; by making the Mobile Sacristy available at the many large Catholic events, that are held each year throughout the Milwaukee Archdiocese. Your donation is tax deductible, and will help keep the Mobile Sacristy stocked, maintained, and rolling. May Our Eucharistic Lord Bless you and your family abundantly, for all that you do in His Service. Thank you for your generosity.

"JPII Men’s Group is an extreme blessing to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and to Arise Milwaukee, specifically.” Prior to starting this ministry, it was very difficult to pull together all the liturgical supplies needed to have a remote Mass at an event like the Wisconsin Catholic Youth Rally,” Magliocco said. “Now, we just call them, request their presence at the event and they arrive a few hours early to get things set up for Eucharistic Adoration or holy Mass. You can trust when you reach out to Michael and his group that the liturgy will be done well and with beauty first and foremost in mind. We could not host the amount of Holy Hours or liturgies we provide at our Arise Milwaukee events without the assistance of their team.”
Brian Magliocco, Formor Executive Director of Arise Milwaukee.
“Whenever we have Mass outside of a church — for example, an outdoor Mass or a Mass in a hotel conference room — I immediately call Michael. Each member of the Men’s Group has a deep faith, a profound love for the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and a willing and generous heart.”
Kim Mandelkow, Director of the Archdiocese Office for Worship.
Your mission states you " *..strive for continual catechesis among our Catholic brethren, by utilizing the tools given to us by Holy Mother Church; and to encourage young men to serve our Eucharistic Lord at the altar, through liturgical ministry." My experience tells me you are fulfilling your mission.
I have had the privilege of joining you for one of your meetings and I was edified by your reverence during the celebration of Mass, your brotherly camaraderie, and your intelligent discussion of a spiritual article that all of you had read. Since I frequently travel with Archbishop Listecki for ceremonies, I have seen firsthand the array of liturgical items you have procured and maintain. They stand as a witness to your knowledge and reverence for the Eucharist.
One thing I don't think many people understand is just what a sacrifice it is to offer this ministry. Some of you take time off from work to set up or take down at a site. Others of you are putting miles and miles on your vehicles. You are making sacrifices that no one sees, all for the love of the Eucharist.
Know of my admiration and gratitude for each of you and the service you are offering to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and even beyond the boundaries of the archdiocese.
Fr. James Lobacz, Master of Ceremonies for Archbishop Jerome Listecki
I was overwhelmed when I saw how you turned a nondescript "stage" into a sanctuary. I thought that you would just have the alter. You had everything - from the sacred vessels and liturgical books to the hosts, wine, and vestments. In many ways, you created a temporary Chapel for the women and men - priests, brothers, sisters, deacons, bishops, and lay people - who came to our convention. The sanctuary you created encouraged personal prayer and reflection throughout the convention.

Our leadership team at Ballpark Day of Faith is extraordinarily grateful to have Millennial Catholic Gentlemen and their mobile sacristy support our event for years as we have celebrated Mass in the parking lot of American Family Field before the Milwaukee Brewer’s game.
Their attention to detail, professionalism and commitment to The Church and Her liturgy has been of great service to our annual event of over 1,000 attendees.
They are one of key strategic partners in our mission. I would enthusiastically recommend them to any Catholic entity in need of a devout liturgical service in unique setting such as Ballpark Day of Faith.
Robert Simi, Founder, Ballpark Day of Faith
The involvement of MCG and their mobile sacristy has reduced the heavy lifting I’ve had to do as sacristan for Men of Christ. Their involvement with our conferences in bringing reverence and beauty to liturgical events is integral to drawing people closer to Christ.
