We are excited to announce that our 8th Annual Catholic Men's Conference will be held on February 8, 2020, at the Travis County Expo Center on 7311 Decker Ln, Austin, TX 78724. Tickets are on sale now. Be sure to take advantage of our Early Bird and Special Group Rates before they expire on December 31, 2019!
We believe that man to man discipleship is absolutely critical to the Church and the challenges we face individually and collectively. That's why the theme for our 8th Annual Men's Conference centers on Jesus' call for us all to "Go Make Disciples". Ragan Edgerly, President of Deli Management, Inc. for Jason's Deli will be our esteemed MC for the day. Following a Mass by Bishop Joe Vásquez, we've got three great speakers lined up that will move and inspire you to reach new levels in your faith and take action to become the disciple that Christ asked each and every one of us to be.
Dr. Edward Sri - Dr. Sri is a well-known speaker, theologian, best-selling author, regular on EWTN, host of the acclaimed film series Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained and the presenter of several faith formation film series including Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John. He, along with Curtis Martin, is a founding leader of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) where he currently serves as Vice President of Formation. Dr. Sri will be speaking on what it really means to be a disciple, delving into the historical and biblical foundations of discipleship and what it means for us today.
Fr. Ken Geraci - Fr. Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who lived only on the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he worked in Advanced R&D and software testing, establishing an internet software company worth $4.5 million. He focused on money, fitness, and success, making little room for God, but God did not give up on him. During his journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs in the search for Truth. After years of struggle and study, Fr. Ken found his way back to the Catholic Church and joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Geraci will be speaking on the Mission that Christ gave us to make disciples, diving into the spiritual and practical challenge of this mission as it applies to building God's kingdom in this present age.
Mr. Curtis Martin - Curtis Martin is the founder and CEO of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), one of the fastest-growing college outreach apostolates in the Catholic Church. He is the author of the best-selling book, "Made for More" and in 2004, Curtis, along with his wife Michaelann, was awarded the Benemerenti Medal by Pope Saint John Paul II for outstanding service to the Church. In 2011, Curtis was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as a Consultor to the Pontifical Council of the New Evangelization. Mr. Martin will be breaking down the process of discipleship into practical steps, uncovering what men can do in their everyday lives to help another man on the path to discipleship.
Come learn what it means to be a disciple of Christ and get inspired & fully equipped to fulfill the mission that Christ gave us to "Go Make Disciples"!
