Mission, Vision, Goals

Mission:
To promote and strengthen the spiritual growth of Catholic Men throughout the Colorado Dioceses and beyond in order to enable men to be spiritual leaders in their families, church, workplaces and communities. 

Vision:
For all Catholic men in the Diocese of Colorado Springs, the Archdiocese of Denver and the Diocese of Pueblo to be linked together as brothers in Christ, proclaiming the gospel of Christ and His Kingdom through all aspects of their lives, and equipping other men to be mobilized for the advance of the Kingdom. 

Goals:
Help men experience conversion to Christ and nurture an ever-deepening personal relationship with Jesus.

Encourage men to experience transformation (on-going conversion) in Christ as they grow in understanding and commitment to the regular reception of the Sacraments, devotion to Sacred Scriptures and to the teachings of Catholic Church.

Mobilize men to become actively involved in parish life and in sharing their Catholic faith with others in their neighborhoods, communities and workplaces.
