The 2026 Heroic Men Convocation: The Future of Catholic Men
Let's shape the future of Catholic men’s leadership in parishes and dioceses across North America. Come to the working gathering for men leading ministry to men, or those discerning the call to lead. Get best-in-class resources and masterclasses to multiply your ministry, so that we can bring more men to Christ together.
A Leader-to-Leader Gathering
This is an alliance of leaders, not an open conference. It is designed for depth rather than scale. Every man is a participant, not an attendee.
The room runs on roundtables rather than rows, with multiple concurrent working tracks. Each track focuses on real challenges facing Catholic men today: formation, growth, retention, leadership pipelines, parish engagement, and diocesan expansion.
Shared Wisdom, Captured & Multiplied
Participants listen, compare approaches, and share proven strategies. Sessions are filmed and documented so the strongest ideas become shared resources with impact nationwide.
Attendees leave with tools to multiply their impact, strengthen men’s groups, and build leadership that endures beyond them.
A Platform for Ministries
Each participant is given a brief opportunity to present their ministry and mission, highlighting how it strengthens and complements the others.
These presentations are professionally recorded and sent to you for use with your bishops, pastors, donors, and parish leadership.
Brotherhood That Sustains the Work
The convocation purposely includes prayer, reflection, and unstructured time together.
These moments build trust, foster collaboration, and strengthen the resolve needed for long-term leadership.
We build the future. Together.
The future of Catholic men’s ministry will not be shaped by spectators or one-size-fits-all solutions. It will be built by leaders willing to gather, speak honestly, learn from one another, and take responsibility for what comes next. This convocation exists to serve those leaders—and to ensure that the future of Catholic men is built with intention, unity, and hope.
