“That Man is You” -All men are welcome! Begins The Fight of Faith for the men of St. Patrick in Anamosa. That Man is You! Jesus did not say to the Jews, “I’ve come to save you from Roman oppression and taxation.” Christ did not promise a worldly kingdom. In fact, He said, “My kingship is not of this world … My kingdom is in your midst … My kingdom is within you!” The kingdom of God is among us. Indeed, it is here now. For where the King is there is His Kingdom. Let us live with an eternal perspective. Claim your royal dignity and inheritance. During the new session, each meeting consists of three essential elements: fellowship with refreshments, video presentation and discussion within small groups. Best part, no homework! And if you miss a meeting, you won't be behind. Each meeting is a new topic and video presentation. Listen to the impact that That Man is You is having on our Catholic parishes: https://paradisusdei.org/that-man-is-you/.

During the nine weeks, each meeting consists of three essential elements: fellowship with refreshments, video presentation and discussion within small groups. Best part, no homework!
