"Awesome!"…Best one yet" …"I had forgotten how much God loved me, I was reminded of that today."…"Life-Changing"
These were just some of the incredible comments we received in the wake of the 2011 Catholic Men's Conference. Men going to confession after 50 years, husbands re-uniting with their wives, father and son relationships being healed, profound encounters with God's Love and Mercy spiritual growth, putting faith into action... the list goes on and on. This day truly was miraculous!
But it doesn't end here. To keep the flame of God's love burning bright and strong, the Long Island Catholic Men's Ministry is initiating a series of Quarterly Men's Breakfasts. These morning workshops will be intense days of prayer and education. Men can expect dynamic speakers and engaging topics together with all the energy and fellowship of the Conference packed into a half day mini-conference! The first of these is coming soon so make sure to sign up for our email list today!
