CMCS has been a staple in the Chicago Catholic Community for 20 years, and we know that many people would miss what we do if we stopped providing our events and online ministry, and we thank you for your continued support.
So, we're not about to stop, because everything is about to change:
+ A new generation of CMCS as 2025 will be our 21st Year! Our numbers of men keep growing!
+ There is a new Vicar as you know Bishop Perry has retired (though he will always be a Co-founder of CMCS).
+ There is thus a new direction as we continue to meet with Very Rev. Larry Sullivan about what CMCS will look like, as he is now our Episcopal Liaison, and CMCS his apostolate.
+ There is a new video or podcast ministry, as some men only want to engage with video/audio, while others only with the written word.
.... Plus, the new Online Men's Forum this Fall, and other online meetings to connect us across the Vicariate / Archdiocese. This, in addition to the live Men's Forum in Spring 2025.
+ There will be a new Hispanic and Polish ministry as we talk with a CMCS Man to lead each of these important ministries, and keeping them separate and focused is the right way forward.
+ We are on the cusp of new affiliated ministries of CMCS, starting with the Catholic Men Chicago Edgewater (CMCE)
+ And much more new things to come!
Please keep the
Catholic Men Chicago Southland team and mission in your prayers. We need prayer in numbers to keep up our strength and protection.
We promise to keep you in our prayers too, we understand as well the great sacrifices you make to engage and to keep our mission operational!
Together, let us continue to protect each other with prayer!
