SUMMARY:Why Be Catholic?
DESCRIPTION:Why be Catholic? What difference does it make? In a culture which seems to tell people that all religions are the same\, does it matter which Church you attend on Sunday? Come hear Keith Nester speak on his journey to the Catholic Church. Keith is a former pastor\, serving in various roles in the United Methodist\, Assemblies of God\, and Evangelical Free Churches. In 2017\, after a 20-year-long discernment process\, Keith resigned from his full-time ministry position and joined the Catholic Church. Come and hear Keith talk about his decision to join the Church and why he finds Catholicism especially fulfilling to the masculine heart. With his unique background\, Keith has a lot of unique insight to offer all men. So\, whether you’ve been going to mass for decades or just dipping your toes in the water\, this talk is for you! \nThis event is for men only. Cover charge is $12/person paid at door. \nBar opens and drinks are served at 7PM. Talk starts at 8PM.

SUMMARY:Men and Mass
DESCRIPTION:What is the mass? Why does it matter? \nThis talk is for any man who wants to learn more or get more out of going to mass. The Church teaches that the Eucharist is both the source and the summit of Catholic life. One of Jesus’ last acts before death was to celebrate the first mass. Many a martyr has died to defend the Eucharist. Nevertheless\, statistics show that your average Catholic Sunday mass is short on male participation. For some reason\, some men have trouble finding connection\, meaning\, and value in the Church. If you’re one of those men\, or you know one of those men\, this talk is for you! \nThis month’s speaker is the first CEO of the National Eucharistic Congress. In July 2024\, Tim Glemkowski spearheaded an effort to gather 60\,000 Catholics for a 5-Day congress to worship the Lord in the Eucharist. Tim is an author\, nationally renowned speaker\, and father of 5 children. He is excited to show how the mass is critically important for any father\, future father\, or grandfather. \nThis event is $12/person\, paid at the door. \nThis event is for men only. \nBar opens and drinks served at 7PM. \nTalk starts at 8PM. \n
