Catholic men who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Active-duty, Reserve, and Veteran brothers alike are welcome.

The Order is a Catholic fraternity in full communion with the Magisterium and the Holy Father. Non-Catholic servicemen seeking the faith may reach out for guidance before applying.

Brothers of the Order live by discipline and devotion. Membership requires daily prayer, Scripture reading, the yearly tithe, and a life ordered by fidelity, witness, and brotherhood. Each man is expected to train his body, guard his soul, and live with the warrior’s resolve to stand firm in faith.

The Tithe is an annual commitment; a yearly act of discipline and devotion that marks your fidelity to the Rule and your standing within the Brotherhood. Each year, brothers renew their vow through this offering, affirming their continued obedience, witness, and faith in action.

Yes. Every brother of the Order bears visible marks of his commitment - the beard, the cross, and a religious tattoo. These are not ornaments of pride but signs of obedience, discipline, and witness to God’s design for manhood. They serve as a banner of devotion and a defiance against the softening of men.

The Military Order of Moses is a Catholic lay fraternity founded by and for Catholic servicemen and veterans. Lay fraternities are established informally and may take decades before receiving formal recognition. As a new Order, we stand in full fidelity to the Magisterium and the Holy Father, with the hope that in due time, through steadfast witness and discipline, the Order will receive formal recognition within the Church.

You’ll receive your certificate of membership and access to the private resources of the Order. Brothers live the Rule daily, honor feast days, and uphold one another in prayer.

The Order is a spiritual fraternity, not a geographic one. While some brothers may gather locally or on base, all are united through the shared Rule and their sacred promises. The Order will also facilitate virtual gatherings and events to strengthen brotherhood across distances.

No. The Order is for life. Once you have taken the oath, you remain a brother wherever God sends you.

Your tithe fuels the mission of the Order — to restore honor, virtue, and faith among men. Though we are Catholic men, our fight is for ALL men. Every dollar helps spread the message that masculinity is not toxic — it’s sacred.

The Order stands in the gap where culture has failed, building resources that call men back to discipline, fidelity, and brotherhood. Your contribution strengthens that witness and ensures that every man, in or out of uniform, knows he was made for more.

Yes. Chaplains support members spiritually and advise the Order as needed.

Read the Rule of Life. Pray. When ready, take your oath and stand in the ranks.

Membership in the Order does not depend on having a shaving waiver. The beard is a sign of devotion and masculine witness, not a rule of salvation. However, Brothers are expected to pursue a shaving waiver as an act of faith and discipline; if the request is denied, they remain fully recognized members of the Brotherhood. Just as a man unable to kneel at Mass remains fully Catholic, so too does a brother who cannot wear the beard remain honored in the Order.

Active-duty servicemen who wish to wear the beard in uniform may request a religious accommodation — commonly called a shaving waiver — after joining. The Order provides official documentation and guidance to assist brothers in this process, though final approval rests solely with the serviceman’s command and chaplain corps.
