What MMOS Means to Me: Bill Platten

June 19, 2012 by
Bill & Rene Platton

Follow Bill Platton on Facebook

I have been blessed to be involved in the planning of all seven MMOS’s in our Diocese. My involvement was not a planned effort but came about by being open to the Holy Spirit when he put me on team for the first event.

I have enjoyed each event but MMOS V and VI were special to me because I was able to attend with my future son-in-law. Seeing the strength of his faith, the earnest effort he is giving to be a holy man, and worshiping God together gave me more insight into his character than most fathers have when their daughters decide to marry.

We have established a relationship built on more than the fact that he married into our family. We share ideas and books we have read, talk openly about our respective faith journeys, and share the bond that comes shared values and spiritual goals.

I know that MMOS has touched many lives in many ways but I pray that men with sons or sons in law are able to strengthen their bond through this shared experience.

I look forward to MMOS VIII to be held on March 2, 2013 at Incarnation Parish. See you there!

Father and Sons

January 27, 2012 by

Father and SonMen’s Morning of Spirituality is around the corner.  The excitement of Curtis Martin coming and being the keynote speaker is growing,   another dynamic homily will be shared by our  Bishop , the Most Rev. J. Terry Steib, S.V.D., and a Church filled with hundreds of men will be ringing with songs of praise.

So ask yourself!

“Wouldn’t it be great if my son(s) were here with me?” … or … “Wouldn’t it be great if my father came with me?”

Father, Son, Sons, Father-in-law, Son-in-law, uncle, nephew, best friend,… the list goes on, as to who might share MMOS with, and create a bond for that person, that will lead to an inspirational relationship with Christ.

Here is a short quote from our team leader of the MMOS 7 committee;

I am excited to be the team lead for the Catholic Church of the Incarnation for the upcoming Men’s Morning of Spirituality. I attended my first event last year and brought one of my son’s. It was an uplifting encounter with Our Lord and was the catalyst that brought my son back to the church. He has since inspired his younger brother and got him on fire for the church. This year, all four of my sons will be attending and the beautiful thing is that my two oldest boys are engaging their two younger brothers explaining why they need to be there. My hope is that all men will bring their sons and that all young men will bring their dads and we put one thousand men in the seats of our beautiful church.

Pax Christi,
Steve

Please consider reaching out and asking your father or son, nephew, uncle, or best friend to attend the upcoming Men’s Morning of Spirituality. It might make a huge difference in their lives, effecting their environment, as well as yours.

Weekend Retreat for Fishers of Men

November 23, 2011 by

Fishers of Men Catholic Retreat

The Weekend Retreat sponsored by the Fishers of Men will take place January 27 – 29.This will be the second annual retreat for the Fishers of Men and we look forward to a full house.

Our retreat them this year is:
Created in God’s Image: Becoming Who You Are Called to Be YOU are God’s work of art! What else can you be if you are created in God’s image. That is a tremendous realization – one which seems beyond our comprehension. Imagine how differently life would be if we truly realized how precious and valuable we are to God.

Our retreat theme, based on psalm 139, will offer an opportunity for you to reflect on this wonderful gift from God and what its implications are for your spiritual journey.

If you came last year, we look forward to being with you again. If it has been a while since you have been on retreat why not make this the year to come to Our Lady Queen of Peace for the weekend. Amazing things happen on retreat weekends!

A reservation form is on back of this letter. Please return it at your earliest convenience to reserve your room. You may also register online at: http://cdom.org/olqp/olqpweekend.htm

This retreat is open to all men in the diocese. Don’t come alone. Invite someone you know to come with you.

Sincerely in Christ,

Sister Eileen Fucito,CP
