We're continuing this fundraising effort on the event registration page, and kindly ask you prayerfully consider making a donation of any amount, even if you are unable to attend the men's forum.   [Gift Tally: Gifted $580.00 = $220.00 to go to reach the $800.00 Goal.] The CMCS Team is committed to promoting men's holiness with the goal of making a lasting impact that resonates for at least three generations. We invite you to be part of this important mission. Register for the Forum or Send a Gift to CMCS Once again, as you consider your ability to give, please take into consideration:   At CMCS Apostolate and CMCSMen.net, we face the challenge of operating without financial reserves, relying solely on the goodwill of those we serve. This situation may seem daunting, but it also inspires a unique solution: our dedication to functioning debt-free. We prioritize transparency and efficiency by ensuring that our resources are distributed free of charge, effectively reaching thousands of men within the archdiocese at a minimal cost. With a team of committed volunteers and an annual budget of less than $5,000, we successfully minimize expenses—our director does not draw a salary, and we avoid overhead costs by utilizing home offices. This model not only ensures that every contribution goes directly to serving our community but also exemplifies our trust in God's providence and the generosity of our supporters.   This campaign determines whether we will have the means to continue in 2025.
