MENTORING BOYS INTO CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN

WELCOME TO THE ST. JOHN PAUL II FRATERNUS WEBSITE!

Great job! to everyone who participated in the sword challenge!

WHAT WE DO

Fraternus Chapters are born from and always pointed back to the parish life, because it is in the Eucharist that true Christian brotherhood is most manifest. Fraternus helps to recruit and train men in a parish to become “True Mentors” – mentors rooted in prayer and challenged to go and earn from the boys the right to be heard through building genuine friendships. The brotherhood then has three opportunities to get together:

FRAT NIGHTS

Weekly meetings called Frat Night are the foundation of a Chapter. The flow of a Frat Night is simple: there’s play, dinner, teaching (King’s Message), discussion, and challenge.

EXCURSIONS

Fraternus Excursions are designed with a common theme and goal, namely, learning about our true identify as men. Sometimes only when we disconnect from daily life and go into the wild can we realize this true identity.

RANCH RETREAT

Once a year the entire Fraternus Brotherhood comes together at the National Fraternus Ranch – a weeklong adventure and retreat.
