Who We Are

Strong Catholic Dad exists to help fathers lead their families to heaven. Founded by Michael O’Rourke, father of 12 (two in heaven), we equip dads to grow in their own relationship with the Lord, build fulfilling relationships with their wife and kids, and pass on the Catholic Faith to their children.

About

See for Yourself

The See for Yourself approach is a fun and effective way to build fulfilling relationships with your kids while passing on the Catholic Faith. The approach is simple: dad uses viral YouTube videos as icebreakers to capture the attention and imagination of the whole family, and then turns that captivation into lively discussion about life and the Faith. It’s really cool.
