What is the Men's Cornerstone Weekend? The Men's Cornerstone weekend is a 24-hour experience that begins on Friday evening at 5:30 PM and culminates with the Saturday Evening Vigil Mass at 5:00 PM. During this weekend you will become more conscious of how Christ is the Cornerstone of your life... how He enables us to live, grow and become more loving and to rise in our faith. It's a great opportunity to meet other men who also seek a conversion of the heart. The Cornerstone Weekend is a wonderful gift, a much-needed spiritual lift from the daily routine of our lives.
Why should I attend Cornerstone? The Cornerstone Weekend brings our faith to life. During the weekend, you will listen to and reflect upon experiences that demonstrate how God is present in our lives, how the Holy Spirit works in real life, how Christ is calling us to follow Him in his name, and how He is the Cornerstone.
Who coordinates the Cornerstone Weekend? The Men's Cornerstone Retreat is led by a team of men who have participated in a previous Cornerstone Weekend.

"A note of thanks for running such a wonderful retreat last weekend. I was not sure how it would affect me in the beginning hours, but found myself more and more filled with the Holy Spirit with each hour....that feeling has not left me. I'm more committed to my faith than ever before and look forward to playing an increased role in service to God, my parish and Cornerstone."
“I want to personally thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for using your talents and gifts for His Kingdom. The men who participated will never be the same. Wow…that is so amazing.”
“Excellent event and terrific job organizing…I never would have gone to Cornerstone without your grace to lend a non-judgmental ear…I would like to chat with you about how to continue building faith. If I can do this, I am confident I will soon be thriving.”
