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 February 27 at St. Stephen’s Church in Caldwell. I strongly recommend that every man in the
parish takes advantage of the nationally known dynamic speaker, Matthew
Leonard. He will talk on “The
Art of Being Catholic” which includes how this convert with an
anti-Catholic background discovered the truth, the beauty and the splendor of
the Church. His afternoon talk will
focus on prayer. “Lord, teach us how to
pray”. We really don’t know how to
pray. He will give valuable tips in his
talk, “Prayer Works” and will impress us with the tremendous power of
prayer. 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 our 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 February 27 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 reinvigoration, a great sacrifice for Lent.
Matthew Leonard will show that prayer
works and give the men tips on making your prayer life more fruitful
and powerful. As a convert with an
anti-Catholic background, he will demonstrate the art of being Catholic and
help us to appreciate the truth, the beauty, and the splendor of our Church. Sign up in the back of the church. You may register at the door, but call 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.

Conference.
