Watch this short film, below, to enjoy some of the sights and sounds from the Ignite Catholic Men’s Conference in Ypsilanti on Saturday, March 22. Over a thousand attendees with one desire: to become the saintly men that Jesus Christ and His Holy Church needs them to be at home, at work and in their parish. The keynote speakers at the event held at Eastern Michigan University’s George Gervin GameAbover Center were:

• Father Joe Krupp | Joe in Black Ministries

• Dr. Jonathan Reyes | Knights of Columbus

• Peter Herbeck | Renewal Ministries

• Matt Birk | NFL Champion & Pro-Life Speaker

The one-day event was hosted in partnership with the Diocese of Lansing, the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Knights of Columbus. Holy Mass was offered by Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing. Throughout the day there was ample time for private prayer; confessions; Eucharistic adoration; and the communal recitation of the Holy Rosary. Veni Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit!
