Our History
In 2002 a group of five men saw a void in enabling men to come together to share the Gospel with each other outside of Sunday Mass. To that end, they started a Gospel Reflection Group in Chester, PA that has grown into over 50 parishes and locations and now brings over 600 men together each week! These men share the Gospel, but also how to become better fathers, husbands, sons, and good Catholic men.
In 2008 our priests, bishops, and our Archbishop (along with these men) started what is now known as “Man Up Philly” the Men’s Spirituality Conference! It’s only one day a year, starting with inspirational speakers such as Immaculee Ilibagiza (the Rwandan genocide survivor), athletes like Mike Piazza, Rich Gannon, Phil Martelli, Fran Dunphy, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, Danny Arbramowicz, Jesse Romero, and other notables who are constantly working to bring our Lord into their everyday lives not just in Church, but in the workplace and most importantly, the home.
This year Man Up Philly will be holding the 7th annual Men's Conference in Philadelphia. We encourage all men to join us for an inspiring time of faith and fellowship. Experience our areas's largest Men's Conference first-hand and join others who are ready to Man Up, by living their true calling.
All Are Welcome!
