Pick the night and the place
Big or small, it just has to be real
Host a Fraternus Squad
Men don’t need another program or app. They just need someone to light the fire and raise a glass.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry
You know, like Robin Hood
Host
Light a fire. Raise a glass. Talk about things that matter to Catholic men today. Pray Compline with your brothers.
Get the host's guide, which includes the deeper "why," sample invitations, and helps you get to manly conversation without the awkwardness of “small group questions.”
You don’t need to have all of the answers. You just have to make the space and make the invitation.
Hospitality is an act of fatherhood
Hospitality is an ancient virtue. For the Christian man, welcoming a guest to your home is an honor and a sign of maturity.
St. Paul describes a spiritual father in these words:
He must be hospitable, a lover of goodness, prudent, upright, devout, and self-controlled
A man with the virtue of hospitality gives the gifts of true leisure and festivity. He lets men settle in, enjoy the company, and get beyond the shallow waters of chit-chat and meme-trading.
You don’t need to be an expert in leadership. You just need to give your brothers something too rare today: your time, your home, and your attention.
