(File | Catholic News Herald) CHARLOTTE — Catholic men across the Diocese of Charlotte and surrounding region are invited for a day of spiritual nourishment and camaraderie at the 14th annual Catholic Men’s Conference of the Carolinas Saturday, Feb. 10, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Charlotte.
Through the sacraments – and dynamic speakers who challenge each participant to grow in their Catholic faith – attendees will have the opportunity to deepen their relationship with Jesus while gaining the strength and encouragement needed to live their callings as Catholic men, husbands and fathers.
“We want this conference to be a fire that would ignite men who have grown weary, discouraged and complacent by the many trials of life and be inspired to want more from themselves so that they could live according to the dignity God created them to be,” said Jason Murphy, founder of the event.
This year’s conference will feature Raleigh Bishop Luis Zarama, who will offer Mass for attendees.
“Bishop Zarama joins keynote speaker Jesse Romero, notable author and radio host, along with a great lineup of others,” Murphy noted.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the Catholic men of our state to join forces on one united front to reclaim their role as the men, fathers and husbands God is calling us to be,” he said.
The day-long conference will also include Red Top Report host Joseph Enders, Daniel Vu from Traditional Catholic Men, and Catholic rapper E-Knock.
Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. In addition to Mass and speakers, short breaks and lunch are included. The event will conclude at 3:30 p.m.
“It will be a full day of prayer, fellowship, and brotherhood to encourage, inspire and move us – not just to more this day, but every day of our lives in the imitation of Christ,” Murphy said.
