That Man is You (TMIY) Begins Again September 12, 2026
TMIY begins again Saturday, September 12, 2026, in rooms 106/107 at 7:00 AM. This program has been a great success here at Nativity as well as at neighboring parishes and over 1,000 parishes worldwide.
What is TMIY?
That Man is You! honestly addresses the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive! You will have honest discussions about the challenges men face.
Why should I join?
If you ever feel alone in your faith, wonder whether the world is going in the wrong direction, are afraid for your children, struggle with sin or addiction, or feel you have no place to turn, then "That Man is You" is for you. It will help you be a better husband, father, uncle, grandfather, co-worker, and Catholic.
How does it work?
TMIY is a 26-week program (two 13-week semesters) that meets every Saturday at 7:00 AM. There is a 30-minute coffee and fellowship portion, followed by prayer and a 30-minute video presentation, and concluding with a 30-minute discussion period with other men from the parish. It is open to all men 18 years old or older. You do not have to be a parishioner to participate in the program.
The program is entirely free and made possible by free-will donations.
Is it different from last year?
Yes! There are 26 new presentations by 13 different speakers. The first semester objective is:
Discover authentic Christian masculinity and enter into the cosmic battle that has been raging since the fall of the angels. Rediscover and reclaim our identity as soldiers, saints, brothers, disciples, and apostles. Encounter practical tools that aid in spiritual defense and development. Enter into a deeper understanding of the Word of God.
Do I have to attend every week?
No. You can come as often as you want. Each week is self-sufficient, though the weeks are interrelated and sequential. Also, if you are unable to attend a week, the video is available for free online to anyone who has registered through the website.

You can register here: At Home - Grace Marriage and the cost is $12.99 per month (or $9.00 per month if paid yearly).
