What will it take to rebuild Catholic men’s ministry for the next generation?
In The Future of Catholic Men, leaders from across the country bring hard-earned lessons from parishes, conferences, brotherhoods, dioceses, and national ministries.
Our country faces more than a crisis of loneliness, but a crisis of good men who don't know what to do. For the action-takers, the men who can't sit back and do nothing, this book is a field-guide to the cutting edge of ministry to men across North America.
From the Heroic Men Convocation in 2026, get the keynotes and ministry topics as a handy book. Leaders from across the country bring hard-earned lessons from parishes, conferences, brotherhoods, dioceses, and national ministries.
Find out how a handful of men can become a group, a group can strengthen a parish, younger leaders carrying the work forward, and an invitate can open a life to Christ. The men who built these ministries began with the people and resources they had. So can we.
There are still men to reach. Let’s go find them.
Includes chapters from:
- Bill Moyer calls men to become disciple-makers through a simple mission: pray daily, connect weekly, invite monthly.
- Santos Hernandez argues that ministries survive only when leaders identify, mentor, and empower the men who will replace them.
- Sean Lynn challenges Catholics to stop waiting for men to walk through church doors and practice handshake outreach to the forgotten 95%.
- Robert Tunmire explains how relationships sustain ministry and fundraising. Brian Topping reveals what 25 years of weekly formation can build.
- Andy Sonnier, Adam Carlisle, Scott Hadwin, Travis Wingo, Tom Melton, Deacon Mark Fair, and Tom O’Brien show how conferences, parish groups, diocesan networks, and simple invitations can create enduring communities of men.
- Father Larry Richards brings the entire mission back to its center: "stop arguing, stop pushing agendas, and live so clearly like Jesus that other men can recognize Him in you."
- And more.
Strengthen the man, strengthen the family.
Strengthen the family, strengthen the Church.
Strengthen the Church, transform the culture.
