The Patricians
The Society of the Patricians was established in 1955.
Its purpose is to build up the religious knowledge of the people, to teach them how to explain themselves and to encourage them to apostleship.
To make us more knowledgeable.
To make us more articulate.
To encourage Apostleship and Evangelization.
All are welcome!
Spiritual Director: Rev. Fr. Philip Maas
