Courtesy photo Father Ryan Ford, far left, led the Men’s Day of Reflection held recently at St. Michael Catholic Church in Marquette. Fr. Ford’s talk helped the nearly 40 men in attendance understand how the Eucharist connects to daily life in the world and summoned them to become what they receive in Jesus’ real presence at every Mass. The day was funded by a diocesan mission grant and St. Michael Parish. Fr. Ford currently serves as the Vicar for Evangelization and Catechesis for the Catholic Diocese of Marquette. He is a native of Gladstone.
