I just got this today about Cincinnati’s annual Catholic Men’s conference: Answer The Call (http://thecall.org). It looks like they haven’t updated their website yet.

The 2011 ANSWER THE CALL CATHOLIC MEN’S CONFERENCE will be held Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Good Shepherd Parish in Montgomery, OH, northeast of Cincinnati.
The speakers listed below are for the Men’s “Answer the Call” Conference
Brother Loughlan Sofield, S.T., is a Missionary Servant of the Most Holy Trinity, and an accomplished speaker, author and professor. He is Senior Editor of Human Development magazine, been recognized for his work on the laity, and is co-author of numerous books. Brother Sofield has served on the faculty or lectured at many universities around the world, most recently in the area of clergy education. Brother Sofield has consulted with over 200 dioceses on five continents.
Fr. Mark Burger is pastor of Visitation parish in western Cincinnati. He has been recognized at earlier conferences as one of the most impactful presenters. He will lead us into a deeper relationship with Christ and guide us through the Reconciliation Service.
Fr. Anthony Brausch is a priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. He was ordained in 2002. Fr. Brausch teaches philosophy at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West in Cincinnati. Fr. Brausch did his studies in philosophy in Rome from 2004-2008. Fr. Brausch has served as parochial vicar and, subsequently, administrator of Our Lady of the Visitation Parish; he has taught at Elder High School where he still serves as the chaplain for the Elder Football Team; and he is the weekend celebrant at St. Margaret of York Parish.

For the last several years, the conference has been at Cincinnati’s Music Hall. This year, Music Hall is unavailable due to scheduling and renovation. Also, they have scaled down the conference due to shear man power to staff the event. I really hope that this annual event remains a tradition here in Cincinnati.

Although I have attended the last three years, I found the 2008 conference especially moving. Fr. Phillip Chavez and Brian Kelly were very moving. You can listen online here.
