Our Purpose
MEN OF ST. JOHN FISHER (ages 18-98): Are you looking to deepen your relationship with God? Looking to be a better husband (or future husband)? Become a more loving father (or future father)? Build friendships with other like-minded men? And seek to be the best man you can be?
THAT MAN IS YOU! is an interactive men's program combining the best research from science with the teachings of the Catholic faith and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive. By honestly addressing the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, That Man is You! Seeks to form men who will be capable of transforming homes and society.
Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:30am in JPG Hall (Starting September 11, 2024)

That Man is You! (TMIY) was named to resonate with men by addressing the core challenges they face in modern society, particularly in their roles as husbands, fathers, and leaders within their families and communities. The name "That Man is You!" is a direct and personal call to men, encouraging them to recognize the critical importance of their roles and the profound impact they have on those around them. It reflects the program's goal of helping men become the best versions of themselves, grounded in faith and committed to living out their responsibilities with integrity and purpose. The title is meant to be a wake-up call, urging men to take action in their lives and be the men they are called to be.
Although the man's role in the family plays a major role, this program is meant for all men 18+. Those that aren't married may someday be married, or may be counseling those that are. This is foundational for them. Those that are divorced may find the content difficult at times, but one of the men that originally told me about the program was divorced and said he still wouldn't miss it for the world. Young me will find help from the life perspective of the older men. Older men will find encouragement from the energy and enthusiasm (and insights and challenges!) of the younger men. TMIY actively encourages parishes to invite men of all ages to enhance the outcome for all.
TMIY is the fastest growing men's group for good reasons. Great content, great structure, and great support. The 1.5 hr format allows us to connect as a large group socially for 30 minutes, learn from a presentation for 30 minutes, and then connect as small groups for 30 minutes. The tables you're assigned to become your small group and as the weeks go on, friendships develop and deepen, you learn to trust and share, and eventually rely on each other in the context of this greater setting. And there's breakfast!
