We are the largest, oldest, and most effective Catholic brotherhood of its kind. We help Catholic fathers lead in their homes and communities and inspire sons to grow into men of virtue, strength, and service—through a unique framework of prayer, mentoring, and formation.
Our time-tested approach includes real rites of passage, a balanced mix of activities, outdoor adventures, and a serious Catholic foundation that actually prepares men of all ages to meet everyday challenges virtuously.
“The biggest highlight is the brotherhood. Meeting and befriending both young men and captains is invaluable, and I am very encouraged for the future of the Church!”
Zach, Fraternus Father and Brother

A six week experience that gives common language and approach to groups of men ready to form their sons in the Faith, together. Perfect for groups of fathers who recognize they need to chart a different way.
“My son said he wasn’t very good in his faith life before Fraternus. He looks forward to the weekly Frat Nights and they help keep him accountable. He looks at the captains as his uncles that he can rely on to give guidance and support.”

Leaving Boyhood Behind is one of the most important books on raising boys in this generation.
“This is an experience that elevates boys and young men to reach for virtue first. I can’t imagine a stronger opportunity for boys, young men, and fathers to grow in faith, virtue, and brotherhood. Thanks be to God for the great gift of Fraternus.”
