 Ecclesia Domestica Men’s Retreat 

November 21-23, 2025  

Join us for the Ecclesia Domestica Men's Retreat November 21-23, 2025. Our theme is Are You Ready? Becoming the Man God Created you to be.  Are you ready to be all-in, to give to the Lord everything you are? Are you ready to surrender to God on His terms, not your own? Are you ready to be lifted up on the Cross? Are you ready to stop playing around at being Catholic, and strive for sainthood? Are you ready for freedom, to break free of the chains of sin and let the Lord heal your broken heart?  Are you ready for Mary, our Mother, to take your hand and show you the way to sainthood. Become what God created you to be.  Cast off the chains of sin, surrender to God’s will for your life and go all-in for the Lord.  Prepare the way in your heart for Jesus Christ.  Are you ready?
