I look forward to seeing you at our 21st Annual Worcester Diocesan Catholic Men’s Conference. Established in 2001, the conference is one of the finest developments in the Diocese and I always participate in it with great delight. It will be wonderful to assemble again following the difficulties our nation has experienced the past two years.
Our 21st Anniversary conference, which takes place at Assumption University, is an extraordinary event. Its purpose is to assist Catholic men to conform themselves more closely to Christ. Those who participate seek to increase their participation in the life of the Church and strengthen themselves spiritually as they live their lives of faithful witness in a chang- ing world.
It is truly inspiring to see so many Catholic men, with their sons and grandsons, join together with hundreds of their ‘brothers in Christ,’ to listen to stimulating presentations, go to confession, actively participate in the Mass, and return to their families and their parishes renewed in the faith.
I hope that you will invite other men, young and old, to join you for this special day. I am very happy that Assumption University will host the event this year.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Reverend Robert J. McManusBishop of the Diocese of Worcester
