AUGUSTA---“We’re going to talk about the things that matter, the things that resonate with men, the challenges we face as men today from fatherhood to what’s happening in the world around us,” said Patrick Coffin. “We’re going to talk about it in a frank, adult manner.”
Coffin, a nationally-known author and speaker who spent nearly eight years as host of the popular radio show
Catholic Answers Live, will deliver two keynote addresses as part of the Maine Catholic Men’s Conference at the Augusta Civic Center on Saturday, November 5. The day will begin with a special Mass celebrated by Bishop Robert P. Deeley at 9 a.m.
“Bring your friend, your brother, your father, your uncle, your son, tap someone on the shoulder who hasn’t been to Mass in years and bring them,” said Coffin. “We’ll have a great time. Just tell them to buckle up.”
Coffin has appeared on Comedy Central, FOX, and has been interviewed on dozens of radio shows and podcasts during his career. He is the creator and host of
The Patrick Coffin Show podcast and media platform (
www.patrickcoffin.media). His book
Sex Au Naturel won praise from readers and reviewers around the world. His new e-booklet,
Stay Cool When the Argument Heats Up is getting rave reviews for its practical advice on calm conversing.
