MANUP SOUTH JERSEY MEN'S SPIRITUALITY CONFERENCE

The "ManUp South Jersey Ministry" focuses on providing resources that will help men to strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ.  The single largest event is the annual men's spirituality conference which brings together men from throughout our region for a day of spiritual renewal.  The primary mission of "The ManUP South Jersey Ministry" is to provide men with spiritual opportunities that will lead them to encounter Christ in a speical way.  So touched by the encounter, they will seek to learn their faith, live their faith, embrace masculine Catholic vitures, and become better husbands, fathers, sons, employees...better men.  And through the example of their lives, they will become missionary disciples who lead others to the joy of a Christ-centered life.  For more information:  www.manupsouthjersey.com
