Become the man God created you to be.

​

That Man Is You! (TMIY) is an interactive men's formation program that helps men grow as leaders, husbands, fathers, and disciples of Jesus Christ. Drawing on Catholic teaching, the wisdom of the saints, and insights from modern science, TMIY equips men to live with greater purpose, faith, and courage.

 

This year's theme, The Revelation of the Father, invites men to discover the Father's love, deepen their relationship with God, and embrace the call to authentic spiritual fatherhood.

 

"He who has seen me has seen the Father." — John 14:9
