Cornerstone's impact has been profound for most who experience it. Thousands of men have experienced Cornerstone at parishes across the United States. Founded in New Jersey, Cornerstone expanded to Southern California and began at Visitation in 2016 with over 100 men attending since then.

 

AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAUSE AND REFLECT…

Cornerstone offers an opportunity to press the pause button and think about those things that matter to you most. It is a chance to meet regular guys, just like you, who will share with you their experiences in life and in faith. You will grow stronger in your faith and your relationships with others - especially your family. This new navigation tool will help get you to where you want to be in life by focusing on what is most important in your life. Most importantly - you are not alone! There are men out there who share your struggles, successes, values and interests. When you hear their stories, you will empathize, find strength, peace, and forge friendships.

 

EVERY MAN BENEFITS FROM CORNERSTONE…

Cornerstone is for working and non-working men of all ages, dads and non-dads, married, single and divorced men, introvert or extrovert, regular church goers and men who haven't been to Mass in a while. No matter where you are in your faith, Cornerstone will have a visible and measurable impact on your life. It is for anyone looking for a deeper connection to God, self, and other men within our church community. There is a place in Cornerstone for every man!

 

IT IS FOR YOU BECAUSE IT IS RUN BY MEN LIKE YOU…

Cornerstone is run by regular guys who attended their first Cornerstone and were so moved by the experience that they want to be part of the team to bring it to YOU. The program is supervised by a spiritual director to ensure the precepts of the church are represented, but the event itself is orchestrated by guys just like you.

 

WHY NOT?

If you are hesitant and thinking “this is not for me”, you are not alone. Almost every man felt this way before attending Cornerstone and all of them were glad they took the plunge. If you don’t want to have fun, make lifelong friends, and work on becoming an even better man for those you love, maybe it’s time to wonder why. Cornerstone is exactly what you need to pause and reflect. There is nothing to lose and a lot to gain, all in a comfortable, relaxed environment with no pressure or judgement, with great food and drinks, and with your community brothers. 

​

RIGHT HERE AT VISITATION…

Cornerstone takes place on the grounds of Visitation Church starting at 6PM on Friday and continues through Saturday around 8PM.  All meals (Friday dinner through Saturday dinner) are included. Sleep-over (recommended), or you may sleep at home and return Saturday morning.
