Behold
the Man

Under the patronage of St. John the Baptist, our apostolate aims to equip parish and school leaders to nurture disciples among the young men in their care. Our one-of-a-kind spiritual apprenticeship program guides young men through the three ways of interior life, enabling them to become the men God created them to be.

Our model is time-tested and true, for we pattern our approach after our Lord Himself, who called twelve men to the great adventure of Christian discipleship and changed the world.

Join us for our annual St. Philomena Pilgrimage on August 3rd

Attain the
Full Stature of
Christ

The Viri Christi program teaches men how a rule of life helps a person build habits for holiness. The mission of Viri Christi is to help men attain the “full stature of Christ” (Eph. 4:13) by becoming strong in mind, body, and spirit. A man in Viri Christi devotes himself wholeheartedly to living a life of virtue and holiness as an offering to Christ our King.

Viri Christi Program

Iron Sharpens Iron

Young men today are leaving our parishes and schools without the proper formation to help them navigate the challenges of the Christian life. Furthermore, Catholic parishes and schools fail to inspire young men to embrace the adventure of the Christian life and pursue a life of virtue and holiness. We must help young men become leaders in their families, parishes, and communities.

Viri Christi is a lay apostolate designed to help Catholic men raise the next generation of priests and fathers who will restore our parishes, schools, and communities. Our program is designed to help parish and school leaders:

Exercise their spiritual fatherhood and build relationships with the young men under their care.
Show young men concrete ways to practice their faith, form good habits, and live a rule of life.
Develop Catholic friendship and fraternity.
Train the next generation of parish, school, and community leaders.
Establish a spiritual legacy.

The program consists of bi-weekly meetings where men will pray together, discuss the nature of the spiritual life, and learn practical ways to grow in faith, wisdom, and virtue. These meetings will be supplemented by weekly podcasts that explore various themes in Catholic spiritual theology. Finally, the men in Viri Christi will learn to follow a rule of life that will help them navigate the three ways of the interior life.
