Across the Archdiocese of
Detroit and across the world, men are coming together in parish and
other local groups to grow deeper in their fellowship
with the Lord and with one another.
In these faith-filled Men's Fellowship
Groups, young men and old are being restored in new and powerful
ways to God, to their own
personal
holeness and well-being, to their wives, children and families,
to their parishes, their Church, and their place as sons of God in
the
community at large.
Who We Are
Catholic Men's Fellowships encourage
men to gather in prayer, scripture study and shared faith to strengthen
their relationship with God
and one another.
The Fellowships do this by:
• Promoting and supporting Christian Men's Fellowships in Catholic
Parishes.
• Keeping men aware of helpful resources available to them through
the Fellowships.
• Giving men the opportunity to come together regularly to pray,
learn, encourage one another and exchange ideas and resources.
• The Archdiocese Catholic Men's Fellowships are encouraged
and supported through the Archdiocesan Office for Evangelization.
This
is your invitation to come and see the wonderful things
that God is doing.
History
Resulting from the powerful experiences of The Promise Keepers events
a group of lay men under the leadership of Mike Timmis, who himself
was a chairperson for Promise Keepers, brought the idea of a Catholic
Men's Conference to Cardinal Maida who gave his approval. A committee
was formed with Mike Timmis, Paco Gaverledies and Father John Riccardo
to host the event at St. John's Center in Plymouth in March of 2002.
The first event was sold out with over 800 people attending. The
confernece is now in it's 5th year with over 3200 men attending last
years confernce. The thrust of this conference is for men to recognize
a call to deepen their commitment to Christ by sharing the Gospel
with other men.
