Robert Falzon is a husband, father, businessman, co-founder of menALIVE and published author. He is married to Alicia and has 4 grown children;. He has a degree from the University of Newcastle, NSW and is a successful business owner.
In 2023 Robert was a keynote speaker at the first CHARIS New Zealand Conference “Receive Holy Spirit Power”. He spoke on Why the church needs an Out pouring of the Holy Spirit and he led an enlightening workshop on the significance of the relationship of a father to both his daughters and his sons. On the Sunday he sent all present to “Go out using your gifts to renew the Church”.
Robert had built up a successful business but reach a point where he thought, ’No, this isn’t enough; this isn’t all that I was called for’….“So I went on a retreat, spent some time thinking about it, praying about it, then one day sitting in church started looking around …“Then I heard the question that I would devote the next phase of my life to responding to, and that was: ‘Where are all the men?’
When discussing this question with his archbishop he was asked: ‘Robert, what are you going to do about it?’ Fired up by his vision for men “fully alive like fire”, In 2007 Robert sold his primary manufacturing business to focus in a full-time volunteer capacity on ministry to men through menALIVE - a National Catholic Ministry to Men
“I went from being a person who was out there selling and marketing, being commercial, to someone who was going to go and influence men’s destinies in their marriages, raising their children, in their workplaces, in their Church ….“I started by letting my heavenly Father father me and for me then to try to be a better father to my sons and daughter and better husband to my wife.”
“In the process of evangelising, the evangeliser has become evangelised,” Robert said. “That’s why Pope Francis wants each and every one of us to get involved in mission. “He knows not only will we save others, but we ourselves will be saved.”
It is such a privilege to have Robert share with us here in Hamilton over 2 evenings this week.
