LEADERSHIP We train men to lead ministry to men. Our personal mentors and coaches have decades of experience. RESOURCES We create and distsribute the best resources in print and online, so that ministry to men works. SUPPORT We train and equip conferences to start local ministries, so that more men can walk with Christ and His Church. What leaders in ministry to men think Now is the time for Catholic men to respond to the Gospel call and join together to live their faith in the marketplace, Modeling the joy of faith-filled Christians in the world we live. As men of Christ, we must work together – clergy and laity – in addressing the challenges facing our cities, our nation and our world. Bishop Joe Vasquez on Ministry to Men I encourage anyone who’s listening to this to invest in men’s ministry, in your Church, in your parish, in your diocese. Because when we have stronger men, more faithful men, we have a better society and a healthier Church. We have been in need of a group like CMLA to help provide men’s ministry resources and to connect us to all that God is doing in Catholic men’s ministry throughout the United States. Every priest or bishop who has his eyes open sees this problem and he knows that he's got to figure out a way to capture the men. We have millions of Catholics in California. As a regional men’s group leader, I was becoming overwhelmed with the need. Thank God for CMLA. We are now connected to resources and leadership training that will help us in the good work of the Holy Spirit in men’s lives. We sometimes felt like we were on our own in the mission of building Catholic men’s ministries. CMLA is restoring our hope by providing much needed material and connections with like-minded Catholic men in other parts of the country. Here in the Midwest we are realizing great impact from the Men of Christ Conference in Milwaukee. The CMLA is helping to take our ministry to men to a whole new level, developing more leaders and connecting us to brothers all across the country. Kevin O'Brien on Ministry to Men Robert E. Tunmire on Ministry to Men Fr. Larry Richards on Ministry to Men Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers on Ministry to Men Bishop Joe Coffey on Ministry to Men Bishop Michael J. Sis on Ministry to Men About the Catholic Men's Leadership Alliance In 2017 a group of four laymen, a priest and a deacon convened to seek God’s help to reach men across North America with the strength and hope found in Jesus Christ. What developed was a vision to unify the efforts of Catholic men’s groups and to advance Catholic ministry to men with mentorship, expertise and essential resources. Recognizing the very evident need for ministry to men in the Church and culture, they formed the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance. The Alliance has grown from humble beginnings to now hav... - [Contact Heroic Men: Reach Out Today](https://heroicmen.org/contact) Office Hours: Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm CT Email: info@heroicmen.org | Leave a Message: 1 (254) 218-3674 Ordering Conference Materials: Visit our online store, select items and checkout!

Heroic Men: Support Ministry to Men in Every Parish in North America The challenges facing Catholic men are accelerating. We need an accelerating response. Heroic Men is a method for helping all Catholic ministries multiply and grow. When strong ministries multiply, the renewal of Catholic men accelerates across the Church. Everything Heroic Men builds serves a single goal: one million men living the Heroic Pledge by 2033. Men like us leave no man behind. If Christ drops everything to rescue every lone sheep, we do too. We're calling men to reclaim strength, joy, and purpose in life, no matter how hard it is. You're alive for a reason. A heroic man knows he is wanted by God, and we strengthen men to live. In the year 2033 the Church will mark two thousand years since the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Moments like this appear once in a millennium. The Church will never again see this an anniversary like this for ten lifetimes. What kind of men will the Church have when it arrives? Across North America men are facing a crisis of isolation. Brotherhood is disappearing. Many men drift into loneliness, addiction, and despair. Others search for belonging in destructive tribes like gangs, online rage movements, and ideologies that prey on fatherless anger. Men will always search for brotherhood somewhere. Our mission is to build brotherhood, strengthened by the Church. If we want the next generation of Catholic men to inherit strength and faith, we need to start and strengthen brotherhoods in every parish, starting now. Our generation has been given a rare moment in history. When the Church reaches the year 2033, Catholic men can arrive fragmented and isolated, or united in brotherhood and mission. The soul of a man is a hero. Heroes step forward for others. They strengthen families. They rebuild the Church.

You want to lead a ministry to men, but where do you start? Across North America, men are spending time they don’t have to start ministries to help strengthen the men near them. Most are forced to reinvent the wheel. They lose ground. They lose momentum. And far too often, they lose men. Meanwhile, many established ministries guard their training behind paywalls, permissions, or branded silos. Heroic Men is doing it differently.

I have leveled up my prayer and meditation. Why men joined our recent Heroic 30 Challenges Sign up to start 1 video each day: This challenge is endorsed by: His Holiness Pope Leo XIV was pleased to be informed of the upcoming March Men's Month of Renewal, promoted by Heroic Men Canada, and, in particular, to learn of this group's commitment to strengthen and renew the family. Indeed, in a world often characterized by individualism and egocentrism, it is all the more essential to rediscover the hidden joy and nobility of a life spent in loving service of those around us. In this regard, the Holy Father prays that those participating in programs affiliated with this initiative will allow themselves to be transformed by the love of God, so as to become icons of this love in their families and within their local communities. Entrusting all who take part to the intercession of Saint Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Leo XIV gladly imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of strength and hope in the Lord. Cardinal Pietro Parolin Secretary of State Pope Leo XIV Imparts Apostolic Blessing to Heroic Men Canada for March Men's Month of Renewal "In a church bulletin for a Toronto parish, I saw this invite for the Heroic 30 Challenge. As a person who wants to constantly upgrade my skills and knowledge, I registered. What makes me smile the most is how the Holy Spirit brings so much into our life - if we are open to these 'whispers in the silence'." "Really made me think about my actions and my thoughts about being a man. "This 31-day challenge invites men to copy St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, and model of heroic virtue. "This March (dedicated to St. Joseph), we honor him through daily acts of prayer, reflection, and action. Each day focuses on a key aspect of heroic virtue—fortitude, justice, prudence, and temperance—while highlighting St. Joseph's role as protector, provider, and silent servant. Practicing these virtues will help men face modern challenges with courage, self-sacrifice, and faithfullness to God's will." Sean Lynn Challenge Host, Heroic Men Canada "It is amazing what a conversation over lunch with the Holy Spirit can result in!!" "Thank you for all of the work that you have done in creating this initiative. Christ spent 40 days in the desert to prepare for his mission. We only ask 30, and make it easy.

Each track focuses on real challenges facing Catholic men today: formation, growth, retention, leadership pipelines, parish engagement, and diocesan expansion. A Leader-to-Leader Gathering 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.

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. 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. 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.

Brotherhood-on-Purpose: connect with another man each week. (Phone calls or in-person meetups are best, but a text or an email can work well.) Multiply the Mission: Invite at least one other man to take the pledge every month. The Heroic Pledge is a promise practiced every day. How the Heroic Pledge works Daily Prayer, Brotherhood, and Outreach for Men Men are facing loneliness, isolation, addiction, and spiritual exhaustion, but the Heroic Pledge begins with one simple act: 30 seconds of daily prayer. The 30-Second Prayer That Breaks Male Isolation A simple Catholic men’s pledge could become a “shield wall” of prayer, brotherhood, and outreach across North America. The Heroic Pledge begins with a simple Catholic habit: pray daily for 10 men, reach out weekly, and invite one new man monthly. The Heroic Pledge Playbook: Prayer, Contact, Invitation The Heroic Pledge is simple on purpose so that every men’s ministry can adopt it to strengthen their men and grow their group. This gives men a shared spiritual foundation, and that strengthens conferences, small groups, and parish initiatives.

One day leadership workshop. Includes Breakfast and Lunch Want to sponsor this summit? Your donation can help sponsor more leaders to attend and recieve the amazing leadership training they need to help make their ministry thrive. This summit is designed to equip Catholic men to live with hope, lead their families in faith, and become spiritual leaders within their parishes and communities. In a culture that often pulls men away from their God-given mission, this day will serve as a bold call to discipleship, grounded in Scripture, brotherhood, and action. In addition, the workshop training will prepare men to reach out to others with Christ's message of hope. This is an over-reaching extension of the workshop’s spiritual training. Specifically, the summit includes a follow-up invitation to an optional 8-week virtual leadership forum to reinforce the discipleship of hope by being active laborers in the harvest — gathering and leading other men in their respective communities.

Larry Richards on Heroic Men](https://heroicmen.org/be-a-man) This is not a passive self-help series—it’s a call to action. Fr. Larry will record a 15 minute episode for each chapter, unpacking the essential tasks to become the men God made us to be. Episode 1. Be a Man Who Stays Focused on the Final Goal: Life is short, and the ultimate goal is eternity with God. Fr. Larry challenges men to live intentionally, keeping the end in mind and avoiding distractions that lead to failure. Episode 2. Be a Man Who Lives as a Beloved Son: Men must embrace their identity as beloved sons of God. Through baptism, we’re adopted into God’s family, moving beyond being mere creations to sons with purpose and relationship. Episode 3. Be a Man Who Repents: True manhood begins with repentance. Fr. Larry calls for men to face their sins head-on, turn back to God, and welcome change. Episode 4. Be a Man Who Lives in the Holy Spirit: Strength comes from the Spirit. Fr. Larry calls men to die to themselves daily, serving others with humility and witnessing to Christ. Episode 5. Be a Man Who Is Strong: Strength isn’t about machismo but about taking responsibility for your choices, focusing on Christ, and walking in His power. Episode 6. Be a Man Who Is Loving: Men must prioritize relationships and express love boldly to their families. Love transforms, heals, and builds legacies. Episode 7.
