The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”  “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.” (John 1: 35-39)

Have you ever wondered what does it really mean to follow Jesus?

From the first moment Jesus stepped on this earth he invited us to follow him. He did it two thousand years ago with his first disciples and he continues inviting us today. His invitation was not an invitation that would lead us to emotional and spiritual slavery, but to be better people, parents, better spouses transformed by his Spirit and according to his heart. We invite you to join men from across to diocese and spend a day with us, praying, reflecting and sharing your faith with others.

Mary is a courageous and exemplary woman.  Her faith is inspirational, and we should follow her example in the way we live our lives.  Come and explore how Mary’s “Yes” calls us to a deeper relationship with God in the silent moments of life, but also, and especially, in the loudest and most hectic moments.  Join women from across the diocese and be prepared to pray, laugh, share, create, and change the world.
