Men of Sacred Heart Parish are invited to join other men of the parish on Saturday mornings for brotherhood and lively discussions as part of the That Man is You! (TMIY) program. TMIY honestly addresses the pressures and temptations men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive! TMIY is a life-transforming program dealing with marriage and family life, men’s issues, such as balancing work demands, and encouraging a greater participation in parish life. TMIY truly accompanies men and their families on the pathway to holiness.
Organized around a central theme and presented through the lens of 7 Steps that make it simple for men to follow, this engaging content is delivered in 26 sessions, divided between fall and spring semesters. Sacred Heart men are completing their 7th year participating in the program with over 80 men having registered and typical attendance of 20 to 25 men. You can attend either in-person or virtually through Zoom. Sessions are on Saturday mornings, held in Immaculate Heart Hall, and finish by 8 AM so men have the rest of the weekend to spend with their families. Each weekend session stands alone so you can attend as your schedule allows.
The typical Saturday schedule:
6:00 AM Rosary (optional)
6:15 AM Coffee/Light Breakfast/Fellowship
6:55-7:00 AM Opening Prayer, Introduction and TMIY Video
7:30 AM Discussion Groups
8:00 AM Conclusion
Coffee/tea/juice and light breakfast options, including donuts, casserole, and prepackaged food items, are provided.
Those wishing to participate remotely can watch the video with the group or watch the video on their own and then join the small group discussions.
