We Hit Our Fall Goal! 850 TMIY Parishes!

This fall marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of TMIY at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in Houston, TX.  Beginning with the 100+ men who showed up that first week, more than 150,000 men and their families have now been impacted by the That Man Is You! men’s program.

We want to thank all of those who have invested their time, energy, and resources into bringing TMIY to the men of their parishes. And to the men who attend, and who have journeyed with us year after year, thank you for your faithfulness – it is our joy to serve you.

With a holy zeal and hearts full of gratitude, we head into our largest-ever year of TMIY with over 850 active classes!  Let us pray for all the men who will participate in the program this year – that their hearts will be open to encounter Jesus right where they are so He can take them further.

Congratulations Missionaries to the Family Class of 2023!

This weekend, we commissioned 31 couples into the great mission field of the family. We were joined by Fr. Peter Towsley, Msgr. Michael Bliss, Apostle Couples Roger & Bernadette Peters and Paul & Chrissy Schneider. During our weekend-long retreat at Notre Dame, 28 couples attended to further develop their spiritual friendships and prayerfully discern their next steps.

Meet Our New Staff Members!

We are joyfully experiencing significant growth in the number of individuals, families, and parishes we are reaching. This has also increased the need to bring in some additional new staff members. “Our new hires are already helping us as we reach more people with our programs,” said Mike DiCosola, Director of Mission Engagement.“We’re excited to have these talented people as members of our team.

Here’s why each one of them is excited about joining Paradisus Dei!

1st Annual Core Team Leaders Retreat!

We were overjoyed to host our first annual Core Team Leader Retreat at our new office in Houston! Fifty men spanning across sixteen states and Canada humbled us with their presence, insights and best practices. These incredible men serve their local TMIY groups with heroic service, passion and joy. The retreat titled, Apostles of the New Springtime, focused upon each man’s personal prayer life, provided tools for reaching more souls and hosting life-giving small groups.  TMIY is blessed to work with the best men in the world, truly, men after God’s own heart.  Steve Bollman was able to make an appearance and inspirational talks were given by Mark Hartfiel, Michael Gormley, Jamie Gonzales, Mike DiCosola, and Isaac Mannella.  The Holy Spirit was moving and we cannot wait until next year!

Welcome Missionaries to the Family Class of 2024!

This weekend we welcomed 22 new couples into formation for Missionaries to the Family. During our final visit to the Grotto a stranger approached two of our couples and asked what was happening. He went to Notre Dame several years ago and stopped at the Grotto to pray while moving his wife (who was expecting) and child from DC to Wisconsin. He took a prayer card and information from us. Paul Schneider posted this to the Missionaries in attendance: “Let us all pray for this family as they move to a new city and hopefully one day join us as Missionaries!!” PRAISE HIM!
