Press Release (1) to the Steubenville Register; version published December 23, 2012
For the
fourth consecutive year, the Diocese of Steubenville is sponsoring a Men's Day
of Renewal on Saturday, March 16 from 9 am to 3:30 pm (optional Holy Hour with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Rosary at 8:30
am) at St. Stephen’s Church in Caldwell off of I-77 Exit 25.
The patron of the Conference is St. Joseph, a model of a true man of
God, to whom we depend upon for its success.
| Fr. Larry Richards speaks on confession at 2005 Boston Catholic Men's Conference |
To
complement the Mass and Penance Service the featured speaker is Fr. Larry
Richards. A popular,
captivating, and entertaining speaker around the country as well as a favorite
at men’s conferences, Fr. Richards is the author of the best seller, “Be A
Man” which challenges men to be true men with manly virtues such as
love, wisdom, courage, integrity, and compassion to pursue holiness, to make a
difference in the world, to find strength in faith, and to live as a beloved
son of God, revealing the meaning of a man’s life. Fr. Larry inspires men
to become the true heroes they long to be. He often appears on EWTN, hosts
his own daily national radio show on Relevant Radio, and is the founder of the
Reason for Hope Foundation.
Being in
the geographic center of our far flung diocese, this will be for many a mini-pilgrimage
of a couple of hours……a real Lenten
sacrifice of early rising and a long trip with great fellowship in a van or bus
as the men pray together, discuss the talks and other events of the Conference,
and deepen friendships.
The
Steering Committee would like to thank the men for their sacrificial
participation in past conferences and especially the pastors and parishes
representatives (more are needed), who are critical for bulletin announcements
& inserts, word of mouth one-on-one promotion, organizing car pools, and
the ultimate success of the Men's Day of Renewal.
A great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer would be
the $25 registration for the men in your life.......husband, father, son, grandson, boy friend, etc. A bag
lunch is provided.
One may
register with the Chair of the Steering Committee: Stephen Ishmael; P.O. Box 167; Lansing, OH
43934. Please include the name, address,
phone, e-mail address, and parish with a $25 check made out to the Diocese of
Steubenville. More information: Steve Ishmael at 740-635-2102, 740-296-9927,

low price are greatly appreciated. Keep
