That man is you program reviews




















I mused to the priest that I had never volunteered to actually do anything outside of normal Mass attendance before. He remarked that it was the Holy Spirit that urges us to get up and participate, and that many people ignore that nudge.

He praised me for being willing to help out. The best parts about the program for me is the discussion groups that form after the DVD lesson completes. It helped me to get to know some of the people within our parish much closer, and again… this was something that I never really got to experience before. In my past, the people I knew at Church were my family members and maybe a few Catholic friends that I went to high school with.

It was and is refreshing to have that situation change. The That Man Is You! I am pleased to report that things are going very well, and we have started a second session on a weeknight so more men can participate.

If you are interested in how to participate, you can search for a parish near you running this important program. It has been a great blessing to my family! This program looks good.

Would this work? Is thier and sample programs on line? Is there a cost for the program? Please advise. God Bless! Deacon John. This is a great size… this is about the average size of our weekly meetings and I can tell you it goes along quite well. You can also contact them by email at info paradisusdei.

They may be able to provide you a sample session or some supplemental materials. I will send you an email with some further details. I still go to St. Cecilia in Houston on Wednesdays to experience the latest Paradisus Dei effort. I was there this past Wednesday, yesterday, and spoke to Steve in person. He lives right behind the parking lot of that church. I host the program at another church in Houston but still like to attend the original where I made many friends. I hope that you are still active with the program because they are working on a new series that originated from a retreat to Notre Dame.

The program gave me courage to be a host at St. TMIY branded, attractive and comfortable, these Navy polo shirts make a great statement when worn by the Core Team on day 1, and by other men in the community any day! Comfortable and durable, many men enjoy wearing the TMIY T-Shirt to help promote the program and remind them that they are part of something special. These are especially great for special projects that the TMIY group elects to do together.

Paradisus Dei does not charge parishes for the program itself. However, all parishes will need to pay for the onsite costs to host the program.

Paradisus Dei does not charge parishes for the program, nor may parishes charge participants for the program. Paradisus Dei is dependent upon the generosity of TMIY participants through the two donation appeals to fund the program. Paradisus Dei does not permit parishes to directly charge men to attend the program for two reasons. First, the program seeks to develop an environment of gratuitousness towards the men.

We want you to receive something! Program does not need the Imprimatur or Nihil obstat at this time. Nonetheless, he reserves the right to submit TMIY for evaluation at a later date. The clergy are drawn from parishes across the United States. The content was developed over the course of numerous years based on his extensive reading, personal insights and discussions with numerous theologians and individuals within the Church.

TMIY is divided into three roughly equal parts: 1 30 minutes for a meal; 2 30 minutes for the DVD presentation; and 3 30 minutes for small group discussions. No portion of the TMIY program may be eliminated or skipped.

Experience shows that the three segments of TMIY support each other and form an integrated program that is greater than the sum of the parts. Individual men are permitted to attend the program as it fits their particular scheduling needs. Therefore, it is not uncommon that some men need to leave the program before the small group discussion is completed.

All other things being equal, experience shows that morning programs are more successful than evening programs since they do not encounter the same intensity of scheduling conflicts. Nonetheless, parishes must consider their individual dynamics and logistics. It is often not feasible to run a morning program in parishes where the men would encounter a significant commute to work following the program. In such cases, evening programs have proven successful. All other thing being equal, experience shows that programs run on a weekday morning are typically successful.

Nonetheless, successful programs have also been run on Saturday. It has been discovered that more men travel at the beginning of the work week than the end of the work week. The amount of time it takes to get TMIY started varies greatly, depending on the parish. Some parishes have started TMIY in little more than a month while other parishes have taken more than a year. Ideally, the Core Team should have men, which provides for back-ups when Core Team members need to miss a session and avoids placing too great a burden on any one man.

The failure to form an adequate Core Team is an indication that the parish needs to move more slowly or combine their efforts with a neighboring parish. Yes, it is essential to run the entire TMIY promotional campaign.

In a culture bombarded by advertising messages, TMIY must work very hard to establish itself in the mind of potential participants. Experience indicates that an intensive promotional campaign is only able to reach half the men of a large parish.

The greatest determinate of the intensity of the promotional campaign is the size of the parish. The cost of the promotional campaign varies based on the size of the parish and thus the amount of marketing materials needed.

These costs are discussed in detail in the Program Materials section of the manual. Although numerous factors may contribute to a lower than expected response, the most frequent issue is a lack of personal contact by the Core Team and Small Group Leaders and Helpers.

In some cases it may be necessary to reevaluate the selection of the Core Team members and Small Group Leaders. The vast majority of men will register the last two weeks of the promotional campaign. Paradisus Dei is able to make TMIY available solely through the generosity of the participants of the program.

Successful donation appeals allow Paradisus Dei to continue to improve the program and make it available to men nationwide. Paradisus Dei uses the money collected from the donation appeals to finance the development of the program and to pay for its operating expenses. The three largest areas of operating costs are: 1 Salaries for Paradisus Dei employees; 2 Travel; and 3 Administrative costs promotional materials, shipping, telephone, etc.

The TMIY program is facilitated through the use of the internet. More information about this program can be found on our The Choice Wine page.
