Pope Leo XIV has declared 2026 a Special Year of St. Francis.
In that spirit, we gather as men to walk a path of initiation, rooted in the Franciscan tradition, not as a theory, but as a lived way of life.
Together, we will:
⚔️ Train in simplicity — cut out vices and distractions, and return to what matters most: God, prayer, and the duties of our state in life.
⚔️ Pursue peace — not as comfort, but as interior strength, becoming men who are grounded, calm, and faithful.
⚔️ Walk in brotherhood — through live calls, shared commitment, and optional in-person meetups — because men don’t become holy in isolation.
I lived this formation process firsthand in the Franciscan tradition, and I will share the best of that experience with you.
Most importantly, we will walk through the Church’s ancient framework of the threefold path of holiness with a shared structure, rhythm of prayer, fraternity, and guidance.
If you know God is calling you deeper, take the first step.
Pax et Bonum,
— Arnold
