About Us
A Catholic Men's Ministry in Cedar Rapids
Benedictus Ministry is a Catholic men's ministry rooted in the heart of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We are a brotherhood of men striving to grow in holiness, accountability, and authentic friendship. In a world that pulls us in every direction, Benedictus is a place to be grounded in faith and strengthened by the company of other men walking the same path.
Whether you are deepening your prayer life, looking for genuine brotherhood, or seeking ways to serve your community, Benedictus is a place where you belong.
Do not be afraid to be saints. — St. John Paul II
Our Four Pillars
Rooted in Discipleship
Each week we gather around one of these four pillars, following the pattern Jesus set with His disciples.
Fellowship
Building real, lasting brotherhood through shared meals, gatherings, and the everyday moments that forge authentic friendship. No man walks alone here.
Service
Answering Christ's call to serve our parish, our community, and one another. Faith in action, shoulder to shoulder, getting the work done.
Worship
Encountering God together in prayer, adoration, and the sacraments. Worship is the foundation of everything we do as Catholic men.
Formation
Growing deeper in holiness through discussion, spiritual reading, and honest conversation about life as Catholic men. Come as you are.
