(41) Possible 2013 Men's Conference Pulpit Announcement at the End of Mass


AMDG
             It is suggested that the Parish Representative ask the pastor to say a few words promoting the Men’s Conference after Mass.  It may be something like the following as a starting point and be adapted according to the style of the pastor and the reality of his parish. 

Fr. Larry Richards emphasizes a point in one of his conferences.

First Announcement

         The Diocese is sponsoring a Men's Conference on Saturday March 16 at St. Stephen’s Church in Caldwell.  I strongly recommend that every man in the parish takes advantage of the dynamic and entertaining Fr. Larry Richards.  Author of the book, “Be a Man”, he challenges the men to be true men as God intended.   He will help the men get into good spiritual shape and become true men of God.

    See the wisdom of Church teaching on the role of the man of God as a spiritual leader in the home, the parish, and the community.  You will return spiritually refreshed and reinvigorated after a day of enjoyable fellowship as the men travel together in the parish van.  Use the sign-up sheet in the back of the church and see your parish representative e.g., Paul Sebastian to register.  Please pray for a fruitful and well attended Conference.


Final Announcement the Sunday Before the Conference

          The Men's Conference is this coming Saturday March 16 at St. Stephen’s Church in Caldwell.  The men will meet at the Parish Hall at 6:30 am and travel together like a pilgrimage in the parish van for some great fellowship and spiritual re-invigoration, a great sacrifice for Lent.

      The theme is “Embracing the Faith” as Fr. Larry Richards gives real insights into true manhood and shows the beauty of monthly sacramental confession, as indispensable for holiness and ultimately victory in the very serious game of life where the prize is eternal salvation and the Lord tells you, "Well done good and faithful servant.  Sign up in the back of the church.  You may register at the door, but calling your parish representative e.g., Paul Sebastian to register as soon as you can. That would make planning so much easier. Please pray for a fruitful and well attended Conference.

St. Joseph, model of a true man of God, pray for us and for the success of the Men's Conference.
