FORGING COMMUNITY PROTECTORS

We forge protectors by screening and rigorously evaluating volunteer Catholic men for character, commitment, and readiness. Accepted participants undergo faith-centered training of the highest standard—integrating spiritual discipline, emergency preparedness, medical response, communications, and lawful defense skills—to form humble, accountable leaders prepared to safeguard parishes, the vulnerable, and the Church in times of crisis.

  • Fostering spiritual growth through prayer, accountability, and adherence to Catholic virtues of humility, obedience, and brotherhood.

  • Delivering rigorous, faith-integrated training in trauma medical response and lawful self-defense fundamentals.

  • Building practical readiness for disaster response, parish protection, and community support—always in compliance with Church teaching and civil law.

  • Forming humble, self-reliant leaders who translate skills into real-world action to safeguard the vulnerable and defend the Church.

If we are afraid to strip ourselves of our worldly possessions, then we are unfit to make a strong defense of the faith.

FAITH & OBEDIENCE

The foundation of every protector. We integrate Catholic spiritual discipline, prayer, and humble obedience to God and the Church into all training—forming men who defend not out of pride, but in faithful service to Christ and His Bride.

MEDICAL

Equipping protectors with professional-level trauma response skills to preserve life in crises. From battlefield-proven protocols to everyday emergencies, we prepare Catholic men to be instruments of mercy, protecting the vulnerable when seconds matter most.

COMMUNITY

Building resilient parishes through partnership and service. Protectors foster brotherhood, share knowledge, and stand ready to support local churches, families, widows, and orphans—translating faith into action for disaster relief, parish security, and communal strength.

LEADERSHIP

Developing humble, accountable leaders without ranks or uniforms. Through rigorous evaluation and ongoing formation, we forge self-reliant Catholic men who take responsibility, teach others, and guide with fortitude—always subordinating personal will to the mission of safeguarding the Church.

SUPPORT OUR PROGRAM

Each year, over 1,500 hours and $150,000 is invested in forging protectors. By the end of each year, a volunteer protector receives over 60 hours of instruction and costs Catholic Resilience Group, Inc. $12,000 to support. Help ensure our mission can continue by supporting us through prayer, and if you are able, financially.
