About this Event
Every man, father and son is invited and encouraged to attend Man’s Destiny, an annual men’s conference that provides an opportunity to step deeper into our faith, discerning the reality around us and affirming a faith-based approach to dealing with the chaos we witness daily in our world.
With the theme Finding Light in the Darkness, the conference will feature Mass, keynote speakers, interactive group activities and time for Adoration and Confession. The dark and chaotic world surrounding us will be unmasked and the light of the power of the gospel will be practically explored so men can gain a deeper understanding of their role within God’s plan and feel empowered to navigate these turbulent times acting as beacons of hope and light to others.
Register now— space is limited. The fee covers breakfast, hot lunch and snacks/refreshments throughout the day.
