‘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

Offer…

  • The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

  • Adoration and Benediction

  • The Litany of Irish Saints

Explore…

  • Man, as he stands before God

  • Why a devotional faith isn’t enough: discover the raw power of the virtuous, thinking man

  • Self mastery: stop living caged

  • 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

    … bringing a razor’s edge of practical import to the abstract
