(1) Introduction to All of the Blogs on this Site


        The primary purpose of this blog site is to provide resources for promoting the Diocesan Men's Day of Renewal of the Catholic Diocese of Steubenville, Ohio. After the date of the Men's Conference until the end of the year, we will post articles that will help the men to get into better spiritual shape.

        The Diocese of Steubenville does not necessarily endorse any post, not does it accept responsibility for anything appearing on this blog. Paul Sebastian, a member of the Steering Committee of the Men's Day of Renewal and under its control, does the posting.

       He has asked Steve Ishmael, the Chair, Fr. Tim Shannon, and the other members of the Steering Committee to occasionally monitor the content to assure that nothing contradicts the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and does not violate any diocesan policy. In that case, Sebastian will edit his own submission or delete the blog in question. The Diocese of Steubenville has the right to appoint another person to monitor the blogs and also has the right to withdraw the link to http://diosteubmen.blogspot.com on its website, www.diosteub.org if our articles ever become a problem.

    Articles on this blog may recommend posts from the personal blog of Paul Sebastian (http://paulrsebastianphd.blogspot.com) and other links that may be helpful to the men. This is done in good faith. However, it is inevitable that more liberal or more conservative readers may not agree with some of the content.

          Submissions for Posting. Readers, especially priests of the diocese, are invited to submit comments and articles for possible posting that may be helpful to the men. The opinions expressed in articles accepted according to the above criteria are strictly those of the author and will not be edited. In that way, we can have a healthy forum in good taste as for example, the articles and letters to the editor columns of such newspapers as Our Sunday Visitor and the National Catholic Register.

         Hopefully, this blog will help the men in their ongoing spiritual formation as they aspire to become true men of God, more effective spiritual leaders in their families and in their parishes, and better Christian witnesses as they put Christ and His principles into the work place and into the Community.

          The following updated resources plus articles that we submit for publication will be posted during each promotional campaign which extends from January 1 to a few days before the Conference:

1) The 2011 Trifold brochure which we give to all the parishes of the diocese.

2) Possible Church Bulletin Blurbs

3) Ideas for Promoting the Men's Conferences


4) Articles on the Men's Conference

5) The Crucial Importance of the Parish Representative

6) Possible Announcements From the Pulpit

7) A Possible Church Bulletin Insert

8) Possible Promotional Talk After Mass

 9) Appeal For Men's Conference Donations

10) Summary of What the Men's Conference Can Do for You
