Where did the National Catholic Men’s Conference originate? The Connecticut Catholic Men’s Conference founded CMC Day to tell the world about this conference movement to rejuvenate Catholic practices in the United States.
How did we come up with this unique celebration? The Catholic Men’s Conference movement is a growing experience of being and becoming, of discovering our worth as men and answering our call to follow the Holy Spirit in all we do. These conferences inspire many personal apostolates – helping men to serve the One who came to serve and give his life as a ransom for many. CMC’s are typically run by volunteers who give of their time, talent, and treasure ‘in the trenches’ to reach out to their brothers and those who are seeking Christ, to bring meaning to the living out of the Catholic faith as men. October 17th is approximately 40 days before Advent during Ordinary Time.
What is a Catholic Men’s Conference? A Catholic Men’s Conference is a day to honor the men who attend and call them to give their best to the Catholic Church. It is a time of spiritual healing and renewal. It is a time to celebrate what it means to be a Catholic man. It is a place where the best Catholic men’s speakers share their wisdom and their stories to help inspire others to follow Christ more fully. It answers basic needs that all Catholic men share:
- FINDING spiritual direction in their lives.
- INCREASING their spirituality and love for the sacraments.
- TOUCHING their hearts & reviving a passion for the Holy Spirit.
- OVERCOMING all that is holding them back from a life of holiness and wholeness.
- REDISCOVERING the gratitude for the gifts that God has given them.
These conferences provide times for personal reflection, intimate fellowship, and meditative prayer. Men will be encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Confession and invited to celebrate the holy sacrifice of the Mass. During the conference outside groups will offer opportunities to get involved in local, regional, and national apostolates. Ultimately, it is meant to be a blessing, an open door to the Savior and a gift of faith. Men, you’ll leave your event with a greater desire to love your families well, share your faith with other men, and serve the Church that has called you to this great and lasting hope.
