At the conclusion of his September 30 general audience, Pope Francis said, “Today I signed the apostolic letter Sacrae Scripturae Affectus, on the 16th centenary of the death of Saint Jerome.

RISE
RISE – is an Unprecedented Movement of Men. In its first year, RISE has transformed thousands of men’s lives all around the world. Parishes and groups have used the RISE 30-Day Challenge to cast a wide-net to all the men of the parish and bring them together into a common mission like never before.
What is it? RISE is a powerful 30-Day Challenge for men by Chris Stefanick. It is 30 days of videos and challenges done individually online, and with additional group meeting options using a Planning Guide. Each man is encouraged to do RISE with a « brother. » This is a critical component to the challenge as it builds accountability and friendship based on a common mission.
What does it cost? The investment for each man is about $1/day. $32 gives them lifetime access to the challenge and membership in a community of thousands of men around the world. There’s no cost to the parish.
Does it work? Yes! There have been over 12,000 comments from men already. Lives are being transformed in ways never thought possible.
It’s easy to run a RISE Challenge! Go to https://coaching.reallifecatholic.com/RISE_parish_promo for more information.
