That Man is You! is an interactive, multimedia men’s program focused upon the development of authentic male leadership. That Man is You! successively considers men in their relationship to God, to their spouse and to their children. The program content harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Catholic Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive. It is particularly indebted to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and Pope John Paul II. That Man is You! has been successful at attracting large numbers of men of all ages, including younger men still actively parenting, and then transforming their spiritual lives. Consider joining us for the meaningful and life transforming men’s ministry. Contact: TMIY@stchristopherski.org or Frank Hesson@410-662-2968 for more information – ALL ARE WELCOME!
