“That Man is You!” a dynamic, fast-growing men’s leadership program in the Catholic Church, will be offered at St. Thomas More Parish beginning Sept. 14.
The program aims to equip men with the knowledge, insight and spiritual strength to effectively lead their families and society. The rapid growth and success of the program since its inception in 2004 in Houston, Texas, has been attributed to its relevant content, professional production value, and well-managed organization, said Ken Heim of St. Thomas More’s men’s ministry.
“It truly is a program like no other,” Heim said.
The program is being sponsored by the men’s ministry group of the Centennial parish. After an extensive search and evaluation of several Catholic men’s programs, a task force from the men’s group was delighted to find all the qualities it was seeking in the “That Man is You!” program.
“We were looking for a program that would appeal to the intelligence and character of the men of our parish, but also be unwavering on the teachings and traditions of our Catholic faith,” said task force member Deacon Steve Stemper. “We found more than we hoped for in the ‘That Man is You!’ program.”
The program’s content, which integrates modern science with authentically Catholic teaching, helps men better understand themselves, their wives and marriages, and their unique role in their family and society. Throughout the course of the intellectual and spiritual formation program, attendees will explore the teachings of Pope John Paul II, contemporary medical and social science research, contemplative insights of the saints and more. The content is designed with the purpose of equipping men with the tools they need to lead a life that is boldly counter to popular Western culture, but wholly united with the truth, organizers said.
There is no cost to participate in the program, which is open to all men. The first 13-week semester will kick off on Sept. 14. It will continue every Friday morning (except Nov. 23) through Dec. 14. The program will be held in the parish’s school gym. Doors will open at 6 a.m. for food and fellowship before each program session, set from 6:20 a.m. to 7:20 am. Breakfast and program materials will be provided.
