About the Conference

The Rekindle the Fire Men’s Conference is an opportunity to be inspired and rejuvenated in your faith by some of the leading figures in the Catholic church. The conference is a one day event with opportunities for prayer, reconciliation, adoration, and fellowship with other men that want to grow in their faith. The agenda includes hearing from three vibrant, nationally recognizable speakers on topics of our Catholic faith. The conference concludes with a holy mass celebrated by Bishop Rhoades of the Diocese of Fort Wayne / South Bend.

Getting there

There have been significant changes to traffic flow in downtown South Bend. Main Street and Michigan Street, which both used to be one-way streets, now both have two-way traffic. Other construction is not yet complete and stoplights have not been adjusted to the new traffic patterns, so you should allow more travel time than in previous years. The Century Center has a parking lot that offers free parking for the day of the conference. On-street parking in the downtown area should also be free on the weekend, and several nearby parking garages might be free if there are no other events.

About

It all began in 1984, with a young professor from the University of Notre Dame. A simple idea: to meet every woman with love and the very best skilled care. A uniquely positive approach and run like a business, this mission has quietly grown into the largest pregnancy resource in the nation. And it’s people like you who have made the miracles happen.

​

Every miracle, every heartbeat, every baby saved—begins with YOU!
