A time for questions and answers with our shepherd Bp. Francis Kalabat. You will be able to post questions in the comment section of Facebook and YouTube and Bishop will answer them live. Send questions in advance to questions@ecrc.us.

Man Up is a weekend away to focus on becoming the men that God created us to be. We have so many excuses in today’s world on why we can’t be Godly men and this retreat will help put all of those distractions away.

Cost: $150
Location: Subiaco Retreat House (Oxford, MI)

2020 Dates:
September 11-13 (Ages 28+)
September 25-27 (Ages 21-27)

Stride for Seminarians is an annual benefit in support of the Chaldean Seminarian Fund. Annual costs exceed $30,000 per seminarian for education, room, and board. Our eparchy currently has eight seminarians preparing for the priesthood — 100% of proceeds raised will go toward the Chaldean Seminarian Fund. Help us support the future of our community in loving memory of Alexander and Gabrielle Mansour.

In the spirit of adjusting to all the changes we have faced with the pandemic, and recognizing the inability to safely host all of our walkers and volunteers, we have decided to make this year’s Stride for Seminarians a virtual walk!

The Stride for Seminarian virtual walk registration will include:

• 2020 Stride for Seminarian T-Shirt
• Virtual walk in your neighborhood or area of your choice from 9am – 12pm
• Mass with Bp. Francis, our two newly ordained priests, Fr. Kevin Yono and Fr. Marcus Shammami, and our Chaldean Seminarians at Mother of God Parking Lot in Southfield at 2pm

The health and safety of everyone involved is our number one priority. We appreciate your continued support and will try to stay true to our mission to stride & fund our Chaldean Seminarians while remembering the lives Alex & Gabby Mansour.

Featuring Comedian Andy Beningo

Our Annual Dinner is a night of entertainment & lively fundraising for ECRC. We do not have a weekly collection so this night helps us raise the funds we need to continue the work of evangelization. We offer many of our programs for free and some we charge a small nominal fee which does not cover the costs.

With over 15 retreats, weekly programs as well as annual conferences ECRC has a wide reach. We seek to inspire and educate people to grow deeper in their relationship with God.

Please consider supporting us by being a sponsor, donating an item to our raffle and auction, or simply by attending with a friend!
