The annual Men of the Immaculata Conference is scheduled Feb. 25 at St. George Church in Baton Rouge from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. The theme is “Prepare to Encounter the Lord.” Father Jeff Bayhi, pastor of St. John the Baptist Church in Zachary, will join Peter Burak of Renewal Ministers and former Navy SEAL officer and co-founder of the Frassati Company Sam Blair as presenters. Bishop Michael G. Duca will celebrate Mass. Chef John Folse will cook lunch and deliver his brief but always popular talk, which blends spirituality with his own unique humor. Early bird tickets are $65 for adults and $35 for students ages 13-24. The ticket includes lunch and a conference swag bag, including a book. The conference may be attended virtually for $25 but will not include a swag bag. For more information, visit menoftheimmaculata.com
