Answer the Call Men’s Conference
Answer the Call! 2006, a Catholic men’s conference, is coming to Cincinnati’s Music Hall Saturday, March 4th. Prayerful, spirit-filled, and life-changing are all apt descriptions of the day-long event which includes a lineup of dynamic speakers. Tickets are only $35 for the whole day and include lunch.
The day begins at about 8:45 a.m., includes Mass celebrated by our local bishops and priests, and culminates at around 4 p.m. following the powerful, moving words from the scheduled speakers:
- Mr. Gerry Faust, well-known former Head Football coach at Moeller High School and the University of Notre Dame; currently on the Advisory Board of the Catholic Men’s Fellowship
- Mr. Jim Towey, who reports directly to President Bush as the Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives
Many of you have attended this great event in the past. Some of you have been there every year since it began. That, in and of itself, speaks volumes about the value, and popularity of this one day conference for Catholic men like us. Without fail, St. Columban has been represented as part of the men’s faith community at this event. Yet, as a growing parish, nearing 2000 families, it can be said the 20–30 men we send to the conference each year falls short of a strong representation of the faithful, spirit-filled community that we are!
Our own Rick Schuster has worked very hard each year to purchase and sell tickets to insure we can gather together as one for a day of fellowship and spirituality. This year, he’s gone beyond the call of duty securing 40 of the “best-on the floor-seats” available. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a part of this great day!
Imagine sitting in the midst of thousands of Catholic men listening in silence to hear the spiritual uplifting message that each speaker brings. A distinctly powerful message which will touch your very soul; inspiring you to be the very best Catholic man, son, husband, father, brother, and friend that you can possibly be!
Until you hear for yourself thousands of Catholic men praying, and singing out loud, in praise and worship of our Lord, Jesus Christ, you won’t know. So, come see and hear for yourself! It will change you! It will inspire you! Call now to reserve your “best seat”!
