Warrior of the Kingdom™
Virtue. Strength. Formation. For the Next Generation.
A Catholic formation experience for youth
Warrior of the Kingdom™ is an 8-week Catholic formation program for youth, created by Dr. Lisa Petronis and her husband. It integrates physical discipline, virtue and character formation, and spiritual life—anchored in the Gospel and the heart of Catholic Tradition. Each week centers on a core virtue and is reinforced through prayer, fellowship, and age-appropriate physical challenges. More than a camp—it shapes young disciples who can carry the Gospel with courage.
About the Coach
Dr. Lisa Petronis
(NON-CLINICAL)
Dr. Lisa Petronis is a Catholic coach, lifelong athlete, and founder of Halleluya Living®. Formed as a Benedictine Oblate, she works from a steady rhythm of prayer and work, bringing an athlete’s discipline to Catholic formation. Her background includes a PhD in Clinical Psychology and years of mission and leadership development; in Halleluya Living® she integrates Catholic spirituality, performance insight, and embodied practice to help believers build resilient habits in Christ. Participants often describe her presence as calm, clear, and quietly demanding of their best.
What Makes It Unique
Integrated Formation
Unites physical discipline, virtue and character formation, and spiritual life within a Catholic framework.
Catholic at the Core
Rooted in the Kerygma, Sacred Scripture, and the sacramental life; faithful to the Magisterium.
Embodied & Action-Oriented
Every virtue is practiced through real-world challenge and disciplined action—formation must be lived, not just learned
This program taught me how to keep my body in shape and it taught me discipline. It also helped me to stay focused and to follow through with my commitment to any program.
