Great News for our Catholic men’s conference, MMOS VII! Curtis Martin, our keynote speaker for MMOS VII, was appointed to a position on a Pontifical Council, this past Dec 7, as announced by the Holy See. This particular council is being created to take-on the promotion of “The New Evangelization” and work with other consultant to improve in areas where the Church has declined.

“If we turn again, in fidelity to the energy of Christ — the energy of truth and of compelling charity — those forces that transformed the world once will transform it again.” NCR – Pope Appoints 2 Americans to the Pontifical Council for the New Evangeliztion 

As we look forward to this upcoming Men’s Morning of Spirituality, let us pray for Curtis Martin and all those chosen to consult for the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, that their strategies and works produce fruitful outcome for our Church.

We all know the constant struggle, the constant walk of life that sometimes leads us astray. We sometimes find ourselves lost, and yes,.. even in some cases we are lost but are in a crowed of people.

We make wrong choices. We take wrong paths.

Knowing this, do you want your son, to take the same steps? To walk the same journey, of life? Finding himself lost, and alone, and yes,.. even in some cases where he is standing right beside you, but is possibly afraid to speak about certain matters in his life?…

He might just make wrong choices. He might just take wrong paths.

He doesn’t have to struggle. His walk of life, can be filled with fruits, filled with grace, filled with gifts.

You need to guide him,.. You need to show him,… You need to bring him,…

As you register today for the next upcoming Men’s Morning of Spirituality, think about asking him to attend the morning with you.

Below is a series of videos, on the New YouTube Channel, CATHOLIC NUGGETS.  Fr. Ben Bradshaw shares short topics of interest, about our lives as men, about our lives as Christians, about our lives (sometimes) as men struggling and afraid.

Fishers of Men sponsors the Men’s Morning of Spirituality, MMOS, an annual catholic men’s conference in the Diocese of Memphis. In 2011, the keynote speaker for the men’s conference was Fr. Larry Richards.

Kevin Paige

Kevin Paige of Memphis

A special guest will be with us, this coming Saturday morning for the 6th annual Men’s Morning of Spirituality. Kevin Paige will be assisting John Angotti with the worship music. Paige is known for his skills in writing, vocals, and instrumental talents, all right along with his talent as a producer in the music World.

Kevin has performed at many events with John Angotti around the Memphis area, for years. If you have not had a chance to see these two men in action together, you are in for a real treat.

If your wife, daughter or female friend went to the Women’s Morning of Spirituality, you should have heard the talk about Kevin and Bethany Paige. Memphis diocese women were well motivated and moved by their performance.

Kevin Paige performs  locally on a regular basis on Beale Street, and at Lindenwood Christian Church, for their Contemporary worship. For more information on Kevin Paige visit his web site: www.kevinandbethanypaige.net

We are welcoming many men of the Catholic Diocese of Memphis and even men traveling from outside of the diocesan area.

This coming weekend will surely be an experience that YOU won’t forget. An experience you will want to share with your friends and family.

The MMOS Development Team would like to encourage every man to reach out into his community and bring a friend.

Many of us have friends that we know who are faithful to the Sunday Mass, but you just don’t see them attending any extra activities at your parish.

Or, you might know a friend who is unable to attend due to who has children, and needs a baby sitter (We are offering Baby Sitting!)

Or, you might know someone who is just a non-practicing Catholic, who never attends anything associated with the Church.

Reach out into your environment and ask your fellow brothers to attend this weekend event, Men’s Morning of Spirituality.

Share the experience and enjoy a day to remember as Friends.

AND YES – BRING YOUR BIBLES!
