ARLINGTON, Va. – More
than 700 men will fill St. Joseph Catholic Church in Herndon Saturday, March 9,
for the 10th Annual Men’s Conference. The event, sponsored by the
Catholic Diocese of Arlington’s Office for Marriage, Family and Respect Life,
gives attendees the opportunity to get inspired by some of the most dynamic Catholic
speakers, build holy relationships and celebrate their faith.
Among the keynote speakers
at this year’s conference is Matt Birk, former NFL ‘center’ with the Baltimore Ravens. “Matt
will offer practical insights into how a robust spiritual life can translate
into courageous witness in the world,” says Therese Bermpohl, Director of the Office for
Marriage, Family and Respect Life. Besides being a devout Catholic and family man, Birk is also
very active in the pro-life movement.
The conference is sold out.
Here
are the details:
When: Saturday,
March 9, 2017, 9
a.m.-3 p.m.
Where: St. Joseph
Catholic Church, 750
Peachtree Street, Herndon
Mass
will be celebrated by Bishop Michael F. Burbidge.
This year’s theme is Power
Within: The Secret Strength of a Deeper Interior Life. The goal is to
inspire men to harness the power they have within themselves through a more
profound relationship with Jesus in prayer, and to encourage them to live that
out in their families, at work and in the public square. Bermpohl says men are
constantly in need of being challenged, and this conference will challenge them
to make greater strides in prayer and holiness and, through that, change the
world around them.
