The 16th Anniversary Worcester Diocesan Catholic Men’s Conference brought 1,000 men from throughout the Worcester Diocese and beyond to Worcester’s DCU Center Saturday.
The day’s keynote speakers included evangelist Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers (“A Light in the Darkness: Seeing Christ in the Sacrament of Reconciliation”); Navis Pictures’ founder Jim Morlino (“How Catholic Fathers Will Reclaim Hollywood: Restoring Nobility and Civility in Our Culture”); Bob Kroll, the founder of With All Your Heart (“Fathers and Sons”); Father Michael Lighter (“Defending our Christian Principles: The Battle Waged Against Our Soul”); and convert and evangelist Mike Cumbie (“Brothers, Please Tell Me the Truth”).
Organizer Msgr. Thomas Sullivan noted the conference will take place at Assumption College next year so they can accommodate more than 1,000 attendees.
A full story will be online and published in The Catholic Free Press Friday.
