Heroic Men Summit: Rising from Ashes
We begin our Lenten journey with ashes that remind us of our mortality and the need for penance. Now we invite you to join Dr. Edward Sri, Bishop Andrew Cozzens, and John Michael Lucida as they reflect on the transformational power of the Eucharist and how it can help us rise up and take action as we continue our Lenten journey. Ignite your Lenten season and join thousands of men for this powerful event!
