Men's Rites of Passage (MROP)

Men's Rites of Passage (click to see dates and to apply)

This is not just another Catholic/Christian men's retreat, but five days of formal male initiation. These teachings on the "mysteries" and the accompanying rituals of Passover have met with a very strong response in recent years.

The setting for these Rites of Passage is usually at Ghost Ranch, in northern New Mexico, however, they will be offered in  other geographical locations.

After ten years of these life changing Male Initiation Rites at Ghost Ranch and around the world, over 2,400 men have now been initiated.  Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, (the founder of the MROP) and M.A.L.Es has trained teams of men to do the same. They will now hand on the experience, with Fr. Richard in a supervisory presence at some sites.
