Fathers and other Catholic leaders can attend an upcoming virtual workshop designed to help Catholic boys grow into men. The Reclaim Fatherhood workshop will be held online 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12.
Presenters are Jimmy Mitchell and Jason Craig. Mitchell, who speaks around the country on the topic of attaining manhood, notes manhood is not something that boys naturally and gradually grow into. Manhood is something men have to win. According to his website, “We need to reclaim the essential relationships and understandings of man as revealed by nature and the teachings of the Catholic Church.” Craig is the author of “Leaving Boyhood Behind,” a book based on Catholic teaching that helps boys transition into adulthood. Both Mitchell and Craig are associated with the growing Fraternus organization in which boys from sixth to 12th grade gather to “eat, play and pray.”
