Pro Aris et Focis

A fellowship forged in piety, bound by duty, and devoted to the good of our homeland.

Stonewall Fellowship exists to cultivate once again an older tradition of man: men of range who possess honor, are well-read, have practical competence and civic responsibility, and are devoted to our Lord and our homeland.

Our Mission

The formation of men fit for the hour.

We gather a broad range of speakers, including pastors, philosophers, historians, teachers, civic leaders, and other men in the arena. These men can strengthen courage, devotion, ability, and discipline for the promotion and defense of the good, the true, and the beautiful.

Our aim is not only to cultivate men of virtue who possess range, but also to build a fraternal brotherhood.

The Man Behind the Name

A life worthy of emulation and study.

Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson stands as one of the finest men ever produced by America. His life is worthy of emulation and study. His life displayed reverence for the Lord, resolve and perseverance, duty and honor, and a love for and willingness to defend his homeland.

Jackson came from nothing to graduate from West Point and serve with distinction as an artillery officer in the Mexican-American War. Afterward, he left the United States Army to teach natural and experimental philosophy and artillery tactics at the Virginia Military Institute before returning to military service for the South during the War Between the States.

Continuing a Worthy Tradition

Honoring their legacies by carrying their virtues forward.

The Stonewall Fellowship is unashamed of our fathers who came before us, and we remember their lives of courage, honor, and duty for the sake of their posterity. We seek not merely to admire them from a distance, but to study them and follow in their footsteps.

We honor their legacies by stoking the flames of virtue and tradition they kindled long before us, seeking to keep the fire burning as we pass it on to those who shall come behind us.

A good moral character is the first essential in a man. It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned but virtuous.
