Next month we prepare for the close of the liturgical year and the coming of Advent. Why not take time to retreat and reflect on the fact that God made you for more?
Made for More is a guided Catholic retreat experience that creates space to step away from everyday pressures, listen more deeply to God and rediscover who we are in Christ. Through prayer, reflection, healing and practical guidance, participants are encouraged to move from simply believing to living their faith with renewed purpose.
The 5th Annual Empowered Men’s Catholic Conference will take place on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at St. Thomas More Church, 15 Caledonia Rd., Dartmouth, NS. Join keynote speakers Archbishop Emeritus Martin Currie, Deacon David Viscount, John Rae, and a testimony from Jonathan Campbell — a full day of faith, fellowship, and formation for ALL men. Events like this are essential for spiritual renewal, helping men grow in their faith, discover their mission in Christ, and strengthen their roles in family and community life.
Registration is free. Registration deadline: Nov. 18. Complimentary lunch provided by the KoC Council 13987. Doors open at 8:30 am. For full details, visit: empoweredccfm.ca
Tomorrow, November 11, the downtown offices of the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth will be closed in respect of Remembrance Day.
