‘Iron Sharpens Iron’
A Program of Formation for Men
This brotherhood is forged through a transformational immersion in the spiritual, intellectual, and ethical wisdom of the Christian tradition.
Our mission is to capacitate men to become free and noble actors, leaders, and protectors, ultimately in service to those entrusted to us as husbands and fathers, and as builders of Irish society.
The sole prerequisite is a desire to claim and be changed by the inherited wisdom of the Western tradition — no previous study required.
Two days to change your life:
(separated by a month)
Gripping Lectures with Meaty Content
Socratic Style Workshops
Open discussion and Free Range Q&A

Man, as he stands before God

Virtue in the Western tradition: how do I get virtue past my intention and into my bones?
Breaking free from aimlessness, distraction, porn, alcohol, shame
How to ‘judge with right judgment’ in a culture that rages against objective morality
Vocation, decisions, and hearing the voice of God
Understand…
The thought of Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, the Church fathers, and Pope St. John Paul II
… as applied to your life and your ordinary everyday experiences and choices
