Welcome
“Only in Christ can men and women find answers to the ultimate questions that trouble them. Only in Christ can they fully understand their dignity as persons created and loved by God.”
St. John Paul II
This conference is meant to remind men of their God given responsibility, the power of conversion, and the impact one man can make.
We invite all men to attend our Chicago Catholic Men’s conference, “A Man Among Men”. There will be opportunities to share your own work for Christ and his Church, be that in lay ecclesial movements, parishes, schools, or personal projects and initiatives. Our hope is we can help ignite their apostolic fire through the conference and provide opportunities for them to connect to our local Catholic movements to further their walk with Christ.
We live in a wounded world full of people needing to connect to something good. Society has also worked tirelessly in diminishing the example Christ the man provided for men.
Catholic Schools
Dads of school children can have a special impact in these formative years
Parishes and Lay Ecclesial Movements

“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
— ST. TERESA OF AVILA
