(70) Examples of Pulpit Announcements Supporting the 2014 Men’s Conference

AMDG

POSSIBLE 2014 MEN'S CONFERENCE PULPIT ANNOUNCEMENTS AT END OF MASS

            It is suggested that the Parish Representative ask the pastor to say a few words promoting the Men’s Conference after Mass and to also go.  We need confessors; his accompanying the men will help parish solidarity and help him to know his men better.  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. 

First Announcement
          The Diocese is sponsoring a Men's Conference on Saturday March 22 at St. Mary’s Church in St. Clairsville.  I strongly recommend that every man in the parish takes advantage of the dynamic and entertaining Dr. Ray Guarendi, a clinical psychologist and father of ten adopted children.  He will help the men to become more effective spiritual leaders of their families and better connected with them.  You will return spiritually refreshed and reinvigorated after a day of enjoyable fellowship, traveling 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 22 at St. Mary’s  Church in St. Clairsville.  The men will meet at the Parish Hall at 6 am and travel together like a pilgrimage in the parish van for some great fellowship and spiritual reinvigoration, a great sacrifice for Lent.
          Dr. Ray Guarendi will give the men tips on getting better connected with wife and children and becoming more effective spiritual leaders of the family.  Sign up in the back of the church.  You may register at the door, but calling your parish representative 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.
