Esto Vir Men's Conference in Appleton March 2nd

Great to see them extend the invite to Bp. Morlino, perhaps they've done this before, I can't remember now.   A good looking lineup.  Fr. Menezes spoke at Men of Christ in Milwauke a couple years ago, very good.  And now of course the Fathers of Mercy serve at the Good Help Shrine.
