One hundred seventy men from across the diocese gathered at this year’s Men’s Conference for a full day of presentations, prayer, and fraternity. This year’s keynote speaker, Msgr. Shea, president of the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND, spoke about how the Lord raises saints in every age. In addition to engaging talks, the day included the Liturgy of the Hours, opportunities for confession, Eucharistic adoration, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

“As a dad, the Annual Men’s Conference was an energizing experience filled with prayer, inspiring speakers, and growing in faith with my son. This conference was an opportunity to bond not only with friends, but our family as well. This annual conference has enriched our relationships with God and each other, which has truly been a blessing and a gift.”
