The "That Man Is You" will begin with a Kick-off Program on September 10th, 7:00 pm that will be held at St. Catherine's parish in the St. Dominic Room.

Guest speakers at this event include; Homero Ortiz, a leading evangelist for Our Lady and musician from the Toledo Area and Steve Feldman from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Homero Ortiz has traveled extensively throughout the tri-state area giving talks on his most favorite subject, The Blessed Mother of Jesus. Last Year, Homero traveled to Mexico to sing at sing at Our Lady of Guadalupe church. He has performed all over our area. His music and spoken word will change and enthrall you with a deeper understanding of our Catholic Faith.

Steve Feldman is a lay evangelist from Cincinnati, Ohio, his life experiences as a young man, husband and father will instill a deeper understanding of the great need to truly be "Men of God" in today's world. Steve hosts a blog at: www.theophilus.stblogs.com. The name that he uses for the blog is "Theophilus- A knights walk in the kingdom" in which he is able to express his everyday experiences in terms that all Catholic Men can relate to.

In the past, many programs within the parishes have begun in the evening. The "That Man Is You" will break new ground by beginning at 6:00 am and end at 7:30 am on Saturday Morning. It is because the program lasts for 26 weeks , broken up into 2-13 week sessions that a Saturday morning was selected.

The reason for this early morning experience is allow all Catholic Men, especially young fathers and husbands, to come to a program that will not interfere with much needed family time and also allow men to come who are normally locked out of activities within the church because work schedules.

Many times in the past, programs for Catholic Men were scheduled in the evening, requiring them to miss activities with family or giving full attention because "simply being too tired" to make a commitment. This program's early morning time simply asks each man to get up an extra hour and a half one day a week and join us in true Catholic fellowship. At a time that does not take away much needed family time.
