Men’s retreat discusses the pillars of being a man

GUYANA

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Brickdam, Georgetown, held its Men’s Retreat under the theme Be a Man for Others on Sunday, June 1.

According to a Catholic Standard report, the retreat saw over 30 men gathering for a time of fellowship and reflection. At the retreat, they were all reminded of the pillars of being men of the Church, which are: Make us men for Jesus—faithful, courageous, and true; Men of integrity, rooted in Your Word; Men of forgiveness, who let go and begin again; Disciples, who follow wherever You lead; Men for others—selfless, generous, and kind; Men of prayer, grounded in You; Men of humility, who serve without seeking praise; Men of love, reflecting Christ in all we do and Men on mission, ready to build Your Kingdom.

At the end of the retreat, the men, “renewed and refreshed, stood together in unity, singing the hymn, ‘Bind us together Lord’ committed to living out their calling as Catholic men.”

With hearts open and faith rekindled, they promised to carry these pillars into their families, and communities.

They left not just as individuals, but as brothers, men for Jesus, men for others ready to serve, to lead, and to love with purpose and humility, building up the Church one life, one act of faith at a time.
