The Heroic Pledge: A Simple Way to Form Men in Prayer, Brotherhood, & Mission

Man in glasses and suit speaking with hands raised, next to a banner and a whiteboard with a circular diagram.
"Yes! I pledge to take a stand for God, & try to be a heroic man.
Every day, I will pray to draw closer to God, and will lift up 3 men by name. Every week, I will connect with one man. Every month, I will invite 1 man to join me in this pledge."
The Heroic Pledge is a concrete promise practiced daily.
  1. Pray Daily: build a non-negotiable rhythm of prayer to return to God.
  2. Brotherhood-on-Purpose: connect with another man each week. Phone calls or in-person meetups are best, but a text or an email can work well.
  3. Multiply the Mission: Personally invite at least one other man to take the pledge every month.

The Heroic Pledge spreads through 'handshake outreach,' or personal witness.
Men connect in person, pray together, and strengthen each other. This reminds them of their promise to live the pledge daily, and invite others face-to-face.

Our Vision: a Million Heroic Men
We are confident that ordinary Catholic men thrive in brotherhood, prayer, and purpose.
We become powerful witnesses to Christ, and instantly strengthen our families, parishes, and the culture.

We've crafted 2 resources to help you on your adventure.
As soon as you enter your email, we'll send you a PDF you can print out. Fill in the names of the men who matter most to you. Pin it somewhere you can see regularly.
Second, you're invited to a 30-day challenge. Every couple of days, we'll send you a short, 5-minute message to clear your head and keep you grounded.
The Heroic Pledge is simple on purpose so that every men’s ministry can adopt it to strengthen their men and grow their group.
This gives men a shared spiritual foundation, and that strengthens conferences, small groups, and parish initiatives.
REAL SIGNATURES FROM REAL MEN
Being a Man of God requires me to stand up and step out.

I’m taking this pledge because men weren’t meant to fight alone. I want to be intentional about prayer, connection, and inviting real brotherhood into my life to stand for God together.
Gabe
To order my daily habits to put God First, My Family Second and everything else third.
Lorand
I’m taking this pledge because I want to build more serious friendships with the men I know. I want them to know I have their back, no matter what, and will offer them to the Father daily.
