ANNUAL KALAMAZOO  

CATHOLIC MEN'S CONFERENCE 

•                      Each year the Catholic Men’s Fellowship groups of Kalamazoo sponsor a one-day conference for the gathering of Catholic men in our Diocese. (see '09 info below) In an environment with hundreds of men, speakers offer presentations on many issues men deal with in the contemporary world. In this “charged” atmosphere, men learn they are not alone in the struggle. It is a time of great spiritual encouragement. In short, this conference gives men the ammunition to do battle for God and live in peace in this world centered in secularism, and to do so with dignity.                       

•                            The Conference includes dynamic speakers, Mass and  the opportunity for Confession, lively music, wonderful food and camaraderie. The Conference Mass is usually celebrated by our Bishop who is joined by several priests and deacons. At these conferences men are given tools to help strengthen them spirituality and are challenged to participate and grow through Catholic Men’s Fellowship groups at their parishes.

  ROBERT ROGERS     As Robert Rogers, his wife and children, drove home from a relative’s wedding one stormy evening, their minivan was caught in a flash flood. The rushing torrent swept him out the driver’s side window, and about a half-mile from the highway, and somehow he managed to pull myself up the south bank of the flooded creek. He was the only survivor. His wife of nearly 12 years and all four of their children went home to heaven. His story of spiritual and emotional recovery will give you a new outlook on God’s saving grace.   FATHER JOHN RICCARDO Fr. John Riccardo is a priest for the Archdiocese of Detroit. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and after working for several years in the professional world, he entered the seminary to begin studies for the priesthood and was ordained to the priesthood in 1996.  He is currently the pastor of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Plymouth and is the host of a weekly radio show entitled, ‘Christ is the Answer’ on Ave Maria Radio.
