Church Militant Men's Retreat

"Battling the Barbarians"

August 7–8, 2020

SPEAKERS: Michael Voris, Simon Rafe, Timothy Gordon and David Gordon

Are you being the man God is calling you to be? Now more than ever, the salvation of your family, your peers and Western civilization itself depend on it. The forces of evil are attacking true manhood, and it's up to you to live it and pass on the Catholic faith.

Bring your son, your father, your brother, your uncle or your nephew — especially if they have only known what the world calls "manhood."

This is a spiritual retreat and includes prayers, spiritual reflections, presentations and fellowship in the Catholic tradition. Men of all faiths are invited to attend this retreat presenting authentic Catholicism. Saint Michael's Media reserves the right to remove distruptive individuals from the retreat and refund any monies paid.

$150 per man retreat fee
