Reclaiming Fatherhood: The Model of Saint Joseph
The modern options for manhood seem to be either toxic masculinity or the erasure of masculinity. Neither allows for a full picture of the vocation of fatherhood. But in St. Joseph, we rediscover the power and beauty of this vocation rooted in an authentic image of manhood. In him we find illuminated manhood as tender and strong, humble and bold, patient and courageous. We also find spiritual nourishment and practical guidance both for ourselves, and especially for the children and young people we care for and mentor, especially young men.
The cost is $25 for men living in the Diocese of Greensburg, $50 for men living outside of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and includes continental breakfast and BBQ lunch.
