CATHOLIC MEN ASSOCIATION (CMA)

Men of Faith, Integrity & Service

The Catholic Men Association (CMA) in the Diocese forms men to become responsible leaders in their families, Church, and society.

In a region where men traditionally serve as clan leaders, elders, and decision makers, the CMA integrates cultural leadership with Christian virtue.

Our Identity

CMA members commit to:

  • Active participation in the sacraments
  • Moral integrity and faithful marriage
  • Responsible fatherhood
  • Parish leadership and service
  • Promoting peace and reconciliation

They serve as role models for younger generations, especially in communities where social and economic pressures challenge family stability.

Key Activities

  • Monthly recollections and spiritual formation
  • Support for parish development projects
  • Marriage and family mentorship
  • Peacebuilding initiatives
  • Assistance to vulnerable families

In pastoral areas, CMA members often coordinate logistics for major diocesan celebrations and support outreach to remote communities.

Witness of Responsible Fatherhood

In a society shaped by deep rooted customs, CMA encourages:

  • Christian monogamy and sacramental marriage
  • Respect and dignity of women
  • Active fatherhood and family guidance
  • Integrity in public and private life

The association forms men who lead not only by authority, but by example.
