Is God tugging at your heart, urging you to something better
Last year’s successful Iowa Catholic Men’s Conference, sparked not only the second annual day of inspiration, prayer and fellowship for men, but branches out to couples, parents and teens. The conference planners recognize the need for ‘family catechises’ so they contracted their speakers to talk at separate events and audiences while in the Des Moines area.
“Although focused on men’s spirituality, we are dedicated to faith-fill families. We decided that we could leverage our great speakers by contracting them to speak at other varied faith events in the area. This is a great opportunity for parents and teens to hear from national catholic speakers on topics that affect them.” said Deacon Tom Bradley. “We are not a ‘one trick pony’, we understand that men have spouses and children who form a family of faith. We have coordinated with Diocesan staff to create unique opportunities. We hope you’ll be inspired by their faith journey and take up the invitation to reflect on God’s plan for your family.”
