Attention all men ages 13 and up… are you ready for a spiritually uplifting Men’s Retreat sponsored by the Knights of Columbus? Are you ready to learn more about your role as a leader, protector and provider by none other than Catholic speaker Mark Houck? Mark is the Co-Founder & President of The King’s Men, an author, lecturer, radio host, activist and passionate Catholic. Since 2006, he’s been speaking to thousands of men about a variety of topics related to the development of authentic masculinity. Mark has written numerous articles, brochures and publications on the topics of pornography, homosexuality, abortion, teen sexuality, parenting and masculine spirituality. In 2008, the USCCB asked him to author a publication on the issue of pornography, which has since been circulated within every diocese in the US. The mission of The King’s Men has enabled Mark to minister to men and women all across North America and Europe. Prior to launching The King’s Men, he was a full-time chastity educator and pro-life activist with Generation Life. Mark has a BA in Human Resource Management from Catholic University of America and a Master’s in Education from Holy Family University. He is 43 years old, married with six children, and lives in Quakertown, PA.
