  • The Body

    Courage, resilience and discipline – all important attributes of leadership are often shaped through physical pursuits in the gym, the field, and wilderness. We will look for a few opportunities for adventure/fieldcraft experiences throughout the year coupled with monthly get-togethers to sweat and push one another in the gym or field.

    Participants will build friendships who support one another and will likely hold each other accountable to their physical goals.

  • The Mind

    "Of all the pursuits open to men, the search for wisdom is most perfect, more sublime, more profitable, and more full of joy."

    We expect our young leaders to adopt a life-long habit and love of reading alongside a hunger in pursuit of wisdom. We will look to reflect on readings from contemporary thoughts leaders and works based in old western culture and its great minds. This is not to be a substitute to their academic studies, merely complimentary and most importantly, to foster intellectual curiosity among members.

    From ancient Greek, Christendom and Early modern era, our culture is rich in ideas. Above all, the Catholic Church retains a great depth in scholarship. We will to exemplify that as a group.
