All Catholic adults are invited to meetings of the Society of the Patricians for a presentation and discussion of the Catholic faith through the perspective of Marian spirituality. Sponsored by the Legion of Mary, these monthly meetings of the Society of the Patricians give ordinary Catholics an opportunity to build upon their knowledge of the faith by means of a discussion in a prayerful, family setting. Father John De Celles serves as our Spiritual Director and summarizes the discussion. Refreshments are provided.
The Society of the Patricians was established in 1955 as a part of the Legion of Mary. Its purpose is to build up the religious knowledge of the people, to teach them how to defend the Catholic Faith, and to encourage them be the apostles that Christ called them to be.
Reverend P. J. Brophy
The Patricians is a family affair. A family conversation about what concerns us all, open, frank, and from the heart, is one of the delights of home life. We Christians, as Christ's brothers, belong to God's family. Thinking about our faith, talking it over, and discussing its applications in the spirit in which Our Lord and the apostles chatted about the day's teachings at the end of a missionary day in Galilee: this is the spirit of the Patricians.
To know Christ Jesus as the wonderful, lovable Teacher, Master and Lord that He is, means that we have to soak our minds in His saving truths and feel thoroughly at home in talking about religion, just as we love to talk about our children, our home, our work. The Holy Spirit gives us all insights into Christ's truth. These we share at a Patrician meeting with others and learn in turn from them. There we are witnesses to Christ and our hearts burn within us as He speaks to us through the mouth of our neighbour.
In and through the Patricians, God comes nearer; His Truths impress us more deeply; and the Church as our field of endeavor becomes more real to us. Minds catch light from minds; hearts glow with faith; Christ grows within us.
