“Follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men.” — Mark 1:17
Fisher's of Men
& Men's Morning of Spirituality
A Catholic men's ministry calling, equipping, and encouraging men through authentic friendship to become active disciples of Jesus Christ — across West Tennessee.
Iron Sharpens Iron
Fisher's of Men is a Catholic men's ministry based in the Diocese of Memphis. Our goal is to awaken in men a desire for a relationship with Jesus Christ and to walk with them as they grow into authentic discipleship — in their families, their workplaces, and their parishes.
The Men's Morning of Spirituality (MMOS) is our annual Lenten gathering — a day set apart for brotherhood, prayer, and the renewal of mission. Every man is welcome.
