Christian Men’s Organization
Brothers United in Faith, Strength, and Service
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
— Proverbs 27:17
In the heart of Dubai’s vibrant African Catholic Community at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, a remarkable brotherhood has emerged—the Catholic Men Organization (CMO). Born from the vision of building godly men who stand firm in faith, strong in character, and bold in witness, the CMO represents more than just an organization; it is a sacred fellowship where African men gather to pursue holiness, support one another, and serve the Kingdom of God with unwavering devotion.
Our Sacred Calling
The Catholic Men Organization exists as a Spirit-filled community where men are challenged, equipped, and empowered to live out their God-given identity as spiritual leaders, faithful husbands, devoted fathers, and committed disciples of Jesus Christ. In a world that constantly seeks to redefine manhood, we stand firmly rooted in the timeless truth of Scripture and the rich tradition of our Catholic faith.
We recognize that the spiritual warfare of our times demands men who are not lukewarm but on fire with the Holy Spirit—men who pray fervently, love sacrificially, and lead courageously. Our mission is to forge a brotherhood that reflects the strength of the early Church, where believers were united in heart and purpose, sharing life together and advancing the Gospel with power and conviction.
The CMO Man: A Vision of Holiness
A man of the Catholic Men Organization is called to be a warrior of prayer, a pillar of integrity, a fountain of compassion, and a beacon of hope. He is a man who seeks first the Kingdom of God, who treasures his family as a sacred trust, who serves his community with humility, and who stands unashamed in his witness for Christ. He understands that true masculinity is found not in worldly power but in Christlike servanthood and sacrificial love.
Our Pillars of Brotherhood
🙏 Spiritual Formation
We are committed to deepening our relationship with God through regular prayer, Scripture study, the Sacraments, and authentic fellowship that challenges us to grow in holiness.
👨👩👧👦 Family Leadership
We support one another in becoming spiritual heads of our households, leading our families in faith, nurturing godly marriages, and raising children who know and love the Lord.
🤝 Brotherhood & Accountability
We walk together in authentic relationships where brothers sharpen brothers, bearing one another’s burdens, celebrating victories, and holding each other accountable in love.
💪 Service & Mission
We actively serve our parish, our African community, and the broader society, demonstrating the love of Christ through practical acts of service and bold evangelization.
A Brotherhood Across Nations
The beauty of the Catholic Men Organization within the African Catholic Community is the rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and nations represented. From Nigeria to Kenya, from Cameroon to Uganda, from Tanzania to Ghana, and beyond—we are men from diverse backgrounds united by one faith, one Lord, and one baptism. This diversity is not a barrier but a blessing, reflecting the universal nature of the Church and enriching our fellowship with varied perspectives and traditions.
Together, we celebrate our African heritage while embracing our universal Catholic identity. We bring the warmth of African hospitality, the joy of African worship, the wisdom of African proverbs, and the resilience of African faith to our brotherhood. We honor our ancestors in faith while building a legacy for the generations to come.
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
— Matthew 18:20
Our Commitment to Excellence
The Catholic Men Organization is committed to excellence in all we do. We believe that as sons of the Most High God, we are called to represent Him with dignity, integrity, and excellence in every sphere of life—in our spiritual walk, in our families, in our workplaces, and in our communities. We refuse to settle for mediocrity when God has called us to greatness.
This commitment extends to our character development, our leadership skills, our professional growth, and our spiritual maturity. We invest in one another through mentorship programs, leadership training, spiritual retreats, and practical workshops that equip us to excel in every dimension of life while maintaining our primary focus on becoming more like Christ.
Join the Brotherhood
Are you ready to answer the call to be the man God created you to be? The Catholic Men Organization welcomes all men of the African Catholic Community who desire to grow in faith, find authentic brotherhood, and make a lasting impact for the Kingdom of God.
Come, be sharpened. Come, be strengthened. Come, be sent forth as a man on fire for God.
Our Vision Forward
As we look to the future, the Catholic Men Organization envisions a generation of African Catholic men in Dubai who are known throughout the city as men of unshakeable faith, unwavering integrity, and unstoppable purpose. We see men who transform their families, influence their workplaces, impact their communities, and advance God’s Kingdom with boldness and power.
We envision prayer warriors who intercede for their families and communities, evangelists who share the Gospel with courage, mentors who pour into younger men, and leaders who serve with humility. We see a brotherhood so unified in love and purpose that it becomes a powerful witness to the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
