Courageous

REGISTER TODAY!The Courageous Men's Event will take place on Saturday, August 22, 2026.

St. Louis de Montfort and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton are again partnering to bring our men together to engage in an authentic conversation on our Catholic faith and our role as leaders of the faith at the Courageous Men's Event.

This year, our feature speaker is Fr. Chase Hilgenbrinck. Fr. Chase was a professional soccer player before abruptly retiring in order to answer the call to become a priest. He became a seminarian and was ordained in the Diocese of Peoria, studied at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, before becoming the Assistant Chaplain at St. John's Catholic Newman Center. Since 2020, Fr. Chase has served as the Vocations Director for the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois.
