What an incredible day we had at the 14th Annual Catholic Men’s Conference at Emmaus Parish!

From the opening Rosary to the final blessing, the Holy Spirit was moving in a powerful way. Hundreds of men gathered in prayer, worship, learning, fellowship, confession, and brotherhood.

We're deeply grateful for every volunteer, sponsor, speaker, vendor, priest, and man who showed up ready to grow in faith.
