About the conference
MAN Deep into Deeper is a Catholic Men’s conference for men ages 18-100 who are seeking a deeper encounter with our Lord! We will explore what it means to live and love as a Man of God, journey through the practical ways of living life under the mission that we are called to as Sons of God, and leave with a burning desire to rise up as men of God in your home, for your family, in your jobs and in your church.
Our world is suffering from a lack of true holy men who are willing to stand firm in the faith and be the men we are created to be. God is calling you! It’s time to answer the call. Join us as speaker Jake Khym talks Godly manhood, equipping us with the tools necessary to live life as a man of God to the fullest. Bishop Emeritus Sam Jacobs will challenge us to rise to our true calling and take our place as priests, prophets and kings.
Our host Paul George from the Diocese of Lafayette will guide us as we journey together building a community of MEN. Grae McCullough will lead us in worship as we respond to God’s outpouring of Love through prayer and song.
The time is now!
Isaiah 43:19: “See, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
