Parish Captains Responsibilities

Print PDF

Written by Men of Christ | 29 January 2012

We're often asked about the Parish Captain / Regional Leader roles.  Please see below for a detailed explanation:

The role of Parish Captain is critical to the success of the conference because it is the personal invitation that encourages men to attend such an event. Most of the men (75% plus) will attend the conference because someone personally invited them via phone, or most importantly a tap on the shoulder.

The individual should be willing to carry the cross of leadership, have a desire to help men grow in their faith, and be courageous enough to answer the call to “go out into the deep” and become a fisher of men.
 
Pre-requisites:
  • Practicing Catholic who is in communion with the Pope and Magisterium.
  • Committed prayer life, and frequent use of the sacraments.
Activities of Successful Parish Captains – Five P Approach
  1. Pray
  • Have I started praying for the men in my parish, the men attending the conference, and the men in leadership roles? Have I asked God to help me in my efforts? THIS IS VITAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.
  • Do I have the Men of Christ nine week novena/fast to St. Joseph on my calendar? Note: Copy of novena can be found on the Men of Christ website.
  1. Pastor
  • Have I asked my pastor to attend conference, and received a commitment from him to attend? Have I asked him to support our efforts?
  • Refer to the administration tool on “How to Approach a Pastor” if you have questions.
  • Did I sign him up online, and let my Regional Leader know that he is coming or not coming
  1. Promise
  • Have we committed to bringing “x” amount of men?
  • Have I spoke to my pastor about his ideas on how to make a commitment to bring “x” amount of men
  1. Plan & PR
  • Have I signed up on line?
  • Do I know how to use the admin tool?
  • Have I built a Parish Captain team?
  • Recruit champions. Start identifying other men in your parish who can support you in getting conference attendees. Recommendation is to have between three plus men on your team. NOTE: Utilize the administration tool for call scripts, and other resources.
  • Have I developed a plan of action?
  • Have I established goals and set priorities?
  • Have I created a time line for activity completion, and am I reviewing regularly?
  • Ideas
    • Setup table after Mass and personally invite men – MOST EFFECTIVE; Fathers bring their sons; Announcements after Mass; Appeal to the spouses and mothers; Bulletin inserts; Hang posters and flyers; Establish an e-mail chain within the parish; Promote through key groups (Bible Study, Men’s Club, Committees, School); Schedule an evening telephone blitz using Parish directory – 1 hour; Charter a bus or car pool.
  1. Passion
  • Am I excited and passionate about what we are doing?

Unite in Prayer

Written by Men of Christ | 11 January 2012

This year, as in year's past, there has been a tremendous amount of prayer on behalf of all of the men who volunteer for and attend the Men of Christ conferences. As we continue to focus on building a band of brothers from a spiritual perspective, we will be adding the following:

  1. Remembering all of our loved ones, as well as our fallen hero’s who gave the ultimate sacrifice, at the beginning of the conference.
  2. Creating a prayer book for your specific intentions.

So, if you would like us to list anyone that has passed on, and/or if you have a prayer intention(s) you want added to our list please respond to this message, or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
