# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Men's Retreat 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Ever wonder if there's more to the Catholic Mass than meets the eye?  Why do so many men find Church, and the Mass in particular, boring or unattractive?  How can men enter into the liturgy more passionately and reverently, both on the interior and the exterior, within the heart AND through ancient ritual?

This retreat will re-discover the Mass within Mass-culinity!

Join growing national speaker and Executive Director of the John Paul II Center for Theology of the Body, Michael Villanueva, who will break open the timeless words of the Centurion from The Gospel of Matthew: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my servant shall be healed" (Mt 8:8).  These words, which have echoed throughout the ages within the Catholic Mass, will be applied (as they should) not just to Sunday worship but to our everyday lives.

Michael Villanueva, MTS is a growing national speaker known for his relatable yet highly thought-provoking style, specializing in topics such as: Marriage & Family, Authentic Masculinity, Dating & Vocational Discernment, Catholic Culture, and especially St. John Paul II’s “masterwork”, the Theology of the Body (TOB).  A former seminarian for the Diocese of Phoenix, Michael earned his master’s from the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Washington, DC and completed his undergraduate studies at Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH.  For more than 5 years, he has led the John Paul II Center for Theology of the Body, now serving as its Executive Director.

As former marriage prep presenters, Michael and his wife, Rachel (another budding Catholic speaker), have formed hundreds of engaged couples and have now started to give talks and retreats focusing on marriage enrichment.  Each year, they lead the dynamic 10-week Igniting Hearts TOB Immersion course for adults (any stage or state of life) and their podcast, All Things Nueva, has been recognized as an effective companion to their teaching and speaking ministry.  The Villanueva’s have been married for nearly a decade and are blessed with 6 children: one in heaven, Magdalena, Joseph, Chiara, Ignatia, and Emilia.
