YouTube Premiere Event

Join the Center for Diaconal Formation of Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology (ICSST) as we welcome renowned Catholic author Father Jacques Philippe for his virtual presentation "Spiritual Fatherhood: A Call to All Men," designed for priests, deacons, seminarians and religious brothers.

In today's crisis of fatherhood, it is more necessary than ever that men, especially priests, be images of the strong and gentle fatherhood of God, by whom the blessing of the Heavenly Father is given to his children. What is spiritual fatherhood? How can it help a man to truly become himself and reach the freedom of the children of God? Father Jacques will offer inspiring answers and a spiritual path forward. He also will outline precautions and guidance to help priests, deacons, seminarians, religious brothers – and indeed, all men – to guard against possible failures and to deploy their unique gifts. Focusing on the Beatitudes, Father Jacques will emphasize that one can only become a spiritual father by following the path of poverty of heart, humility, meekness, mercy and purity in the love that the Lord offers.

The presentation will be broadcast virtually as a YouTube premiere event. A link to join the broadcast will be sent to you in a future communication. Register today.
