Sheenist Men’s Conference

May 11, 2017 pilgrim Leave a comment

The Sheenists are group named after Archbishop Fulton Sheen. They meet up in Escondido once a month to consume fine beverages, smoke pipes and talk theology.

On June 17th the Sheenists will be hosting a one day conference, with a number of speakers drawn from the ranks of the Sheenists, and with the keynotes given by Fr. Carl Gismondi and former host of Catholic Answers Live, Mr Patrick Coffin.

I’ve already booked my ticket, but if you have yet to buy yours, I would strongly suggest inviting some friends to go with in order to get the group discount:

Cost of a single ticket: $40
Cost for two tickets: $70 (working out at $35 each)
Cost for three tickets: $90 (working out at $30 each)

Here’s to looking forward to some of the manliest conversations you’ve ever heard!

For any guys in Seattle this weekend, come along to the fourth Seattle Men’s Conference, Iron Sharpens Iron in Sammamish this Saturday. As you may have guessed from my Twitter feed, work is crazy at the moment, but I’m still making time to go this. You should too!

Making a huddle

August 4, 2015 pilgrim 4 comments

Back in San Diego, I was part of a group which we called “The Men’s Huddle”. We were a small group of Catholic guys who got together every couple of weeks in order to share our lives, hold each other accountable and to encourage one another as we sought to become all that God calls us to be.

In the last couple of years I’ve noticed more men’s groups have been springing up. This is really great to see and today I’d like to write a little bit about The Huddle, in the hope that it will inspire other men to do something similar. The Huddle was a great support to me during my time in San Diego and I would like more men to experience the sort of blessing which comes with membership of such a group.
