Indiana Catholic Men’s Conference Men of all ages: What is keeping you from attending this year’s
Indiana Catholic Men’s Conference? I doubt if it is your family,
because if you were sick they would beg you to go to the doctor.
Is it pleasure? Are you putting pleasure before a day with the
Lord? Is it work that could truly be put off until another day?
Father God is seeking you, and all men, to rise up in Jesus’ name,
to stand tall for His truth! Register now for the Indiana Catholic
Men’s Conference, which will be held Saturday, October 5th at the Indiana
Convention Center. Join the group from St. Anthony, St. Louis, and St. Nicholas to
receive a discount and travel together. Contact James Dickey at 812-212-8799 or
