Made for more. Created by God. Called to His Mission.

Stay tuned! There will be much more to come.

We’re well into the planning of our 21st conference, so save the date, Saturday 13 March 2027. Once again, we’ll be returning to the Miller High Life Theatre for a powerful event in downtown Milwaukee. We’ll have fantastic speakers, more than 50 vendor tables, confession with more than 70 priests, and adoration throughout the day. Don’t come alone!

Join more than 3,000 men in the beautiful Miller High Life Theatre.

Powerful speakers. Life-changing experiences. This year’s conference will feature another spectacular speaker lineup. We’ll hear from Mr. Bas Rutten about his career as a UFC Champion, and a powerful confession that brought him back to the faith. Fr. Dave Pivonka, president of Franciscan University, will help you understand the purpose of your faith journey and how all of us are indeed, Made for More. After lunch, one of the most powerful influencers of young Catholic men will take the stage, Mr. Paul Kim. Paul delivers practical advice for men building their families, and a story of hope amidst the heartache of losing a young child. Fr. Francis (Rocky) Hoffman will close our day with a message on spiritual warfare, and how the evil one seeks to disrupt your path to becoming the man the Father intends all of us to be. Of course, our faithful friend Archbishop Grob will close our day his words of wisdom during Holy Mass. Gentlemen you were made for this day. Because you are Made for More.
