(196) Examples of Possible Pastor Announcements Supporting the Men's Conference

AMDG

EXAMPLES:  PULPIT ANNOUNCEMENTS SUPPORTING THE 2020 MEN’S DAY

          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.

Scott Hahn
First Announcement

          The Diocese is sponsoring a Men's Conference on Saturday March 7 at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption in Marietta.  Scott Hahn will draw on Church's teaching and his own experience to show how you can effectively share their faith, and so fulfill the New Evangelization.  Every one of us, as Catholics, is called not only to keep the faith, but also to share it with others. This talk will help Catholic laymen to reach friends, co-workers, and family members, especially those who are non-practicing or have drifted away from the Church.  Talk up the Conference among your friends.  Use the sign-up sheet in the back of the church and see our parish representative (e.g., John Doe) 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 7 at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption in Marietta.  The men will meet at the Parish Hall at 7 am and travel together like a pilgrimage in vans for some great fellowship and spiritual reinvigoration, a great sacrifice for Lent.

          Scott Hahn will speak on how to strengthen our marriages and our family life, both of which are in crisis.  Drawing from Scripture, and forty years of experience as a husband and a father.  Scott will offer some practical tips on how to make your home a domestic church --which St. Pope John Paul II advocated-- particularly with the help of the Holy Family.  He will also share some valuable lessons learned from his own struggles.  You will return spiritually refreshed and reinvigorated after a day of enjoyable fellowship, traveling together in a van.  Talk up the Conference among your friends.  Use the sign-up sheet in the back of the church.  You may register at the door, but call your parish representative (e.g., John Doe) 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.
