On February 24, 2023, Bishop Vlado Košić welcomed leaders of the 'Be Men' initiative and the 'Knights of the Immaculate Heart of Mary' brotherhood at the Bishop's Ordinariate in Sisak. The meeting highlighted their various prayer and formation initiatives, particularly focusing on the gathering of men to pray the rosary, promote Catholic values, and strengthen personal and family spirituality.

The representatives shared their achievements within the diocese, discussing past activities and revealing plans for future gatherings following last year's successful launch of rosary prayers in public squares in Popovača and Sisak. Bishop Košić expressed strong support for the initiative, emphasizing the Church's backing of authentic efforts by believers to live their faith publicly, especially through peaceful gatherings and prayer.

Furthermore, the bishop encouraged the participants to persist in their efforts, reinforcing the importance of communal prayer in advancing faith within both local communities and individual lives. This meeting exemplifies the Church's role in fostering spiritual initiatives that engage men in congregational life and religious observance.
