2011 Men’s Spirituality Conference

Fr. Gregory J. Hickey

Being a leader is not a position or a title. It is a frame of mind and practice. Being a leader begins with an individual finding voice and taking action. Effective leaders influence others to find their voice, take action, and become leaders, creating a ripple effect. Though some people truly may be “born leaders”, each of us can build our capacity for leadership.

This year our theme is “Put out into the deep” from the Gospel of Luke. It calls upon each of us to cast our nets into our personal spirituality and invite others to join us. You cannot give to others what you have not nurtured yourself. This idea of “Putting out into the deep” initially asks us to ponder our personal spirituality but as we go deeper, it calls us to leadership within the Catholic community as we seek to bring more men to Christ.

As your Rector, I urge each of you to attend the Men’s Spirituality Day at Archbishop Ryan High School. You will meet over 1,500 men from across the Archdiocese who have similar values as you do. You will hear conferences and testimonials from men who are “living in the deep.” Let’s make this theme of our retreat house come alive outside of our individual retreats that we can become ambassadors for Christ in our marriages, in the workplace, in our neighborhoods, and most importantly in our personal lives.
Please join the Men’s Spirituality Day at Archbishop Ryan on April 9, 2011.

Prosit!
