That Man is You

This popular and growing weekly catechetical program for men is expanding in the greater Kansas City area.  Already functioning in more than six parishes with hundreds of men in attendance, TMIY held a promotional meeting earlier in May to discuss further expansion in the Kansas City area.  The reception, hosted by Jim Kafka of The Church of the Nativity, engaged over 200 men from interested parishes.

The program is offered to parishes as a three year curriculum containing weekly video teaching and small group discussion.  The program, out of Houston Texas, has spread to dozens of parishes nationwide in the past few years.
