There are many elderly parishioners who suffer from terrible loneliness whose life you can change just by dedicating an hour of your week to keeping them company. The problem with men is that they become like bears in the wilderness in their adulthood, wandering around alone all the time. Naturally when you get married and start a family this problem fades away into the background. But for this reason I recommend that any man in his late 20s or 30s who is not married should seriously consider becoming a monk. Without family or monastic life it is easy for a single man to fall into sin and never climb back out.
