Catholic Men Association

The Catholic Men Association, abbreviated CMA is a solidarity group that brings together all practicing Catholic men to take an active role in the process of evangelization in the home, the SCC, the church and the country in general. The group was started in Holy Cross Parish and has grown from strength to strength in our parish mobilizing men to take on different projects for the benefit of the wider congregation.

The Catholic Men Association (CMA) mission is to bring together all Catholic men into a Christian Community where they share God’s Word. They also equip them with skills to help them reach their God given potential as Christian leaders and witnesses in the Church and Communities.
