Approximately 450 men gathered March 29 at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit for the 16th Hispanic Men’s Conference, and event that included a full day of reflection, learning, and prayer and culminating in a Mass celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Arturo Cepeda alongside newly installed Detroit Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger, whose presence was welcomed with warmth and hope from members of the Hispanic community.

Men gathered for a day of prayer, Eucharistic adoration, worship and fellowship during the Archdiocese of Detroit’s 16th Hispanic Men’s Conference on March 29. Along with talks from Fr. Pedro Núñez and Fr. John Robinson, SOLT, attendees also had the opportunity to celebrate Mass with Detroit’s new leader, Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger, and Auxiliary Bishop Arturo Cepeda.
Men gathered for a day of prayer, Eucharistic adoration, worship and fellowship during the Archdiocese of Detroit’s 16th Hispanic Men’s Conference on March 29. Along with talks from Fr. Pedro Núñez and Fr. John Robinson, SOLT, attendees also had the opportunity to celebrate Mass with Detroit’s new leader, Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger, and Auxiliary Bishop Arturo Cepeda.

The event featured inspiring talks, moments of praise, a procession and holy hour, and the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. Various ministries collaborated to make the conference a profound experience and a testament to unity.

“The teamwork was incredible,” Fr. Pedro Núñez told Detroit Catholic en Español. “It’s beautiful to see these ministries come together for a common goal, and that was key to the event’s success.”

Fr. Núñez, a priest of the Archdiocese of New Orleans and a popular international speaker, gave two talks, sharing his experiences and profound testimony of faith. The 77-year-old priest, who has been in ministry for 47 years, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve at events like this, where evangelization is tailored to meet the needs of men.

“This event was excellent in every way,” Fr. Núñez said. “The approach to evangelization was well adapted to what men needed. Plus, the hospitality was wonderful — everyone felt at home, and that’s very important.”

The conference stood out not only for its impeccable organization, but also for the powerful messages delivered throughout the day.

“Seeing the church filled with men at Mass brought me great joy because, sometimes, men can be a bit more reluctant than women to draw closer to God,” he added. “Many left with a desire for a radical change in their lives, especially in their marriages and family relationships.”

A man’s identity in Christ

One of the highlights of the conference was the opening talk by Fr. John Robinson, SOLT, of Holy Redeemer Parish in Detroit, who addressed three key themes: identity, journey, and destiny.

He emphasized that the identity crisis in modern society is one of the main reasons many men feel lost and without purpose.

“Every human being is created by God in His image and likeness,” Fr. Robinson reminded them, stressing that a man’s true identity is found in his relationship with the Lord.

Fr. Robinson also spoke about the “four dragons” that can ensnare a man’s heart: power, honor, money and pleasure.

“Following God’s path and responding to the vocation we are called to often requires a change in life, which can be difficult and even painful,” he said, inviting attendees to trust in the guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout this journey.

“El Padre John de la comunidad de SOLT habló sobre la identidad del hombre. Me hizo reflexionar sobre mi propia experiencia y también, como tengo un grupo de jóvenes menores, me dio ideas sobre cómo puedo adaptar el tema para explicárselo a los jóvenes”, explicó Ricardo Hernández.

Next, Fr. Núñez delivered two deeply moving talks. In the first, titled “Beloved Sons of the Father,” he reflected on the importance of recognizing God’s unconditional love for every person. Quoting St. Augustine, he said, “God created us without our consent, but He cannot save us without it.”

He explained that there are two paths in life: God’s path or the world’s path. Each person must ask themselves which path they are on and how they are filling the emptiness in their heart — whether with the world’s fleeting promises, which lead only to disappointment, or with God’s infinite love, which transforms and gives life.

Finally, he invited the men to reflect on how they are responding to God’s call and what example of Christian living they are leaving for their children.

In his second talk, “Healed to Heal,” Fr. Núñez emphasized the importance of holiness and personal healing. He spoke about how resentment and past wounds can distance people from God’s grace and their true calling.

He also encouraged perseverance and courage to start anew.

“Don’t give up — your perseverance will lead you to a deeper holiness. Let Jesus heal you, let him transform you. Start receiving the sacraments more frequently. Make a good confession and begin walking the path of victory,” he urged.

For Ricardo Hernández, a member of the “Jornadas” ministry, the conference was a unique opportunity for spiritual renewal and fellowship.

“It was a success. In previous years, we didn’t have this many people,” Hernández said. “There were fathers, sons, and many first-time attendees. It was an event that touched many hearts. And having Archbishop Weisenburger among us was an unexpected blessing. Seeing him there was a surprise for me. His presence showed us that he is committed to the Hispanic community and that we can count on his support.”

An invitation to grow in faith

The final message of the conference was clear: God continues to call men to be a light in their homes and communities.

During the closing Mass, Bishop Cepeda reminded the faithful of God’s goodness and the opportunity to renew their faith. Reflecting on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, he highlighted the Father’s mercy — always ready to welcome and restore His children with love, even when they stray.

He encouraged those present to ask themselves how they are responding to God’s mercy and to recognize their own struggles within their families and communities. With joy, he urged them to return home as living witnesses of their faith so that their transformation would be evident to those around them.

For some, the conference was an awakening from lukewarm faith; for others, it was a confirmation that they are not alone in their journey to live an authentic Christian life. And for all, it was a reminder that despite failures and challenges, it is always possible to rise again.

“God has His plans, but if even one person among all the participants experiences conversion, for us, it will have been worth it,” said Antonio Camino, the current treasurer of the Hispanic Men’s Conference.

And judging by the radiant faces of those who left, the fruits of this gathering are just beginning to bloom.

Un llamado a seguir a Cristo en la 16ª Conferencia de Hombres Hispanos

Con charlas inspiradoras, oración y la presencia del Arzobispo Weisenburger, la 16ª Conferencia de Hombres Hispanos en Detroit reunió a más de 450 hombres para vivir la fe en comunidad

El pasado sábado 29 de marzo, el Sacred Heart Major Seminary en Detroit fue el escenario de la 16ª Conferencia de Hombres Hispanos, un evento que reunió a aproximadamente 450 hombres.

“El Padre John de la comunidad de SOLT habló sobre la identidad del hombre. Me hizo reflexionar sobre mi propia experiencia y también, como tengo un grupo de jóvenes menores, me dio ideas sobre cómo puedo adaptar el tema para explicárselo a los jóvenes”, explicó Ricardo Hernández.

Desde las 8 a.m., los asistentes participaron en una jornada intensa de reflexión, aprendizaje y oración, que culminó con una Misa presidida por el Obispo Arturo Cepeda y el recientemente instalado Arzobispo Edward Weisenburger, cuya presencia reafirmó su compromiso con la comunidad hispana, que lo recibió con calidez y esperanza.

El encuentro incluyó charlas inspiradoras, momentos de alabanza, una procesión y Hora Santa y la posibilidad de recibir el sacramento de la Reconciliación. Diversos ministerios trabajaron juntos para hacer de esta conferencia una experiencia integral y un testimonio de unidad.

“El trabajo conjunto fue increíble”, explicó el Padre Pedro Núñez a Detroit Catholic en español. “Es hermoso ver cómo estos ministerios se unen para un mismo fin, y eso fue clave para el éxito del evento”.

El Padre Núñez, quien ofreció dos charlas, compartió su experiencia y su profundo testimonio de fe. El sacerdote de 77 años, quien lleva 47 años de vida sacerdotal, expresó su gratitud por poder servir en eventos como este, en los que la evangelización se lleva a cabo con un enfoque especialmente cercano a las necesidades de los hombres.

“Este evento fue muy bueno en todo sentido”, comentó el Padre Núñez. “La dinámica empleada para evangelizar estuvo muy bien adaptada a lo que los hombres necesitaban. Además, la hospitalidad fue maravillosa, todos se sintieron como en casa, y eso es algo muy importante”.

La Conferencia no solo estuvo marcada por una organización impecable, sino también por los mensajes inspiradores de las diferentes charlas.

“Ver la iglesia llena de hombres en la Misa fue algo que me dio mucho gusto, porque a veces el hombre es un poquito más reacio que la mujer para estar más cerca de Dios”, añadió. “Varios se fueron con el deseo de un cambio radical en sus vidas, especialmente en sus matrimonios y relaciones familiares”.

La identidad del hombre en Cristo

Uno de los momentos clave de la Conferencia fue la charla de apertura a cargo del Padre John Robinson, quien abordó tres temas esenciales: identidad, camino y destino.

Destacó que la crisis de identidad en la sociedad moderna es una de las causas principales de la falta de sentido en la vida de muchos hombres.

“Cada ser humano ha sido creado por Dios a su imagen y semejanza”, recordó, enfatizando que la verdadera identidad de cada hombre se encuentra en su relación con el Señor.

El Padre Robinson también habló sobre los “cuatro dragones” que pueden convertirse en trampas y esclavizar el corazón del hombre: el poder, el honor, el dinero y el placer.

“Seguir el camino de Dios y responder a la vocación a la que estamos llamados muchas veces exige un cambio de vida, lo cual puede ser difícil e incluso doloroso”, dijo, invitando a los presentes a confiar en la guía de María Santísima en este proceso.

A continuación, el Padre Núñez ofreció dos charlas profundamente emotivas. En la primera, titulada “Hijos amados del Padre”, reflexionó sobre la importancia de reconocer el amor incondicional de Dios por cada ser humano. Citando a San Agustín, dijo que, aunque Dios creó al ser humano sin su consentimiento, no puede salvarlo sin él.

Explicó que hay dos caminos que se pueden recorrer: el camino de Dios o el camino del mundo, y que cada persona debe cuestionarse qué camino está recorriendo y cómo está llenando el vacío en su corazón: si con las promesas pasajeras del mundo, que solo llevan a la derrota, o con el amor infinito de Dios, que transforma y da vida.

Finalmente, invitó a los presentes a reflexionar sobre cómo están respondiendo al llamado de Dios y qué ejemplo de vida cristiana están dejando a sus hijos.

En su segunda charla, “Ser sanados para sanar”, el Padre Núñez profundizó en la importancia de la santidad y la sanación personal. Habló sobre cómo el resentimiento y las heridas del pasado pueden alejar de la gracia de Dios y de la verdadera vocación.

También hizo un llamado a la perseverancia y a la valentía para comenzar de nuevo. “No te des por vencido, tu perseverancia te llevará a un grado de santidad cada vez más alto. Déjate sanar por Jesús, déjate transformar por Él. Comienza a recibir los sacramentos con mayor frecuencia. Haz una buena confesión y comienza a caminar por el camino de la victoria”, concluyó.

Para Ricardo Hernández, miembro del ministerio “Jornadas”, la conferencia representó una oportunidad única de reunión y fortalecimiento espiritual.

“Fue un éxito. En años anteriores no llegaba tanta gente. Había papás, hijos, muchos que asistieron por primera vez. Fue un evento que tocó muchos corazones. Además, vino el Arzobispo Weisenburger. Fue una sorpresa para mí verlo allí. Su presencia nos demostró que está comprometido con la comunidad hispana y que podemos contar con su apoyo”, expresó Ricardo.

Una invitación a crecer en la fe

El mensaje final fue claro: Dios sigue llamando a los hombres a ser luz en sus hogares y en sus comunidades.

Durante la Misa final, el Obispo Cepeda cerró la conferencia recordando la bondad de Dios y la oportunidad de renovar la fe. Reflexionó sobre la parábola del hijo pródigo, destacando la misericordia del Padre, que acoge y restaura con amor a sus hijos, incluso cuando se alejan. Invitó a los presentes a preguntarse cómo responden a la misericordia divina y a reconocer sus propias luchas en la familia y la comunidad. Con alegría, los animó a regresar a sus hogares como testigos vivos de su fe, para que su transformación sea evidente en sus vidas y en quienes los rodean.

Para algunos, la Conferencia significó el despertar de una fe tibia; para otros, fue la confirmación de que no están solos en su lucha por vivir una vida cristiana auténtica. Y para todos, fue un recordatorio de que, a pesar de las caídas y los desafíos, siempre es posible volver a levantarse.

“Dios tiene sus planes, pero si uno de todos los asistentes se convierte, para nosotros ya habrá valido la pena”, dijo Antonio Camino, actual tesorero de la Conferencia de Hombres Hispanos. Y a juzgar por los rostros iluminados de quienes se marchaban, los frutos de esta jornada apenas comienzan a florecer.
