Fraternity is one of the three pillars of Exodus 90 and, thus, an essential part to the spiritual exercise.
The Preference for Local
We have found that local fraternities tend to last longer and have more of an impact, so we recommend you start there. Take some time in prayer to ask Christ about the men in your life that he is calling you to invite on this journey. Think of men from work, church, school, or elsewhere in your community. Consider talking with your priest or men of your church and see if they might have any suggestions or know of any fraternities in the area that are forming.
The Fraternity Finder Tool
We recently launched our Fraternity Finder in the app to help you find a virtual fraternity if you cannot find a local one!
Before utilizing this feature, you will need to verify your email address and phone number as well as upload a profile picture. Once you are in, you will be able to peruse those fraternities that are open to more men or create one yourself!
We believe in this exercise and the graces it has continued to bring to those who take it up in it's fullness: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity. When inviting others to join you in this exercise, it doesn't matter if you know the men you invite really well or not at all, the gift of fraternity continues to be a pillar of the Christian life and this exercise that God uses to bring greater freedom to his men. We want the same for you.
Have courage, make the personal invitations.
