I urge you to keep this event in your prayers, as well as the Bishop, Deacon and all attendees. Additionally, I ask you to pray for me, my family, and the CMCS Team, as we are currently facing spiritual challenges surrounding this event. The adversary is aware of the significance of CMCS in empowering Catholic men to embrace the fundamentals of their faith and to keep Christ at the center of their lives. |
