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.
