EMPOWERED

Catholic Conference for Men 2026

The seven spiritual gifts of service

 

 

 

The EMPOWERED committee is hosting a men's conference Nov. 21st, 2026.

We are now accepting registrations. Pre-registration required here.
Registration deadline is Wednesday Nov. 18th, 2025.

Saint Paul, in his letter to the Romans identifies seven spiritual gifts of service. They are prophecy, practical service, teaching, encouragement, almsgiving, leadership and acts of mercy. (Romans 12:6-9) How are we to use them to help us as men grow in our faith? Come to our conference to find out.

We are a group dedicated to fulfilling our call to raise up men to be EMPOWERED in faithfulness to God for the service of all, especially their families. Empowered: Catholic Conference for Men is the beginning to entering the breach. Men are being called to step up and we are accepting the challenge. We are committed to raising up men who have the desire to be EMPOWERED to serve God with courage, and strength that only comes through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Please share our event slide or our event flyer to anyone who may be interested!

The Seven Gifts of Service

 

Romans 12:6-9

Saint Paul, in his letter to the Romans identifies seven spiritual gifts "Then since the gifts that we have differ according to the grace that was given to each of us: if it is a gift of prophecy, we should prophesy as much as our faith tells us; if it is a gift of practical service, let us devote ourselves to serving; if it is teaching, to teaching; if it is encouraging, to encouraging. When you give, you should give generously from the heart; if you are put in charge, you must be conscientious; if you do works of mercy, let it be because you enjoy doing them."

In our conference our speakers will help us to understand 1. how these works help us as men grow in personal Piety and 2. how to help us integrate into the body of Christ – The Church Militant.
