Archbishop's Letter - Most Reverend John J. Myers
 

My Dear Brothers in Christ,

 

Again I am delighted to welcome you today to this most special day of worship, testimony, discovery, fellowship, and grace – our second Catholic Men’s Conference.

 

We gather today in faith, in commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in commitment to serving Him and His Church – a community of men eager and willing to find a deeper, more personal relationship with Jesus Christ.    The speakers, workshops and interaction for the day are designed especially to meet your needs, and to help shape your roles in families, in the Church, and in a society sorely in need of Champions of Faith -- men of God and men for others as role models.  

 

It is my hope that those of you who are joining us after attending last year’s Conference will gain further strength to meet the challenges of discipleship in our modern world.  For those of you who are joining us for the first time, may you find through this close and joyous interaction at the Conference a new perspective on your personal discipleship and journey with Christ, and fulfillment of the words of Proverbs 27:17 --  “As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another.”

With every good wish, I remain 

XMost Reverend John J. Myers 
Archbishop of Newark
About Us
“Come to me all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads,
and I will give you rest."  - Matthew 11:28
 
MISSION
 
The Archdiocese of Newark formed the Men’s Commission to offer a structure of fellowship and support to deepen men’s faith and relationship with Jesus Christ; and to help guide their roles in their families, in the Church, and in society as men of God and men for others.
 
The Commission works in close collaboration with the Bishops, pastors and other leaders to support and encourage local and regional initiatives where Catholic men build relationships with one another, share their faith and support one another through prayer and fellowship groups.  
 
GOAL AND VISION
 
The Men’s Commission of the Archdiocese of Newark seeks to hold the fourth Archdiocesan-wide Men’s Fellowship Day (or Call to Catholic Men of Faith) which will be a large scale public gathering of men throughout the Archdiocese to come together and support one another in their personal discipleship and journey toward Christ.
