Fraternitas

The Fraternitas program seeks to focus on fathers or father figures and emphasize their unique role in passing on their faith to their children. The program will support three interrelated activities. Fraternitas Camp will provide overnight camping opportunities for fathers to have conversations with their children and develop supportive relationships with other fathers. Fraternitas House will work with fathers in various locations (e.g., parishes, Catholic youth sports organizations, Catholic schools) to help them learn and engage in Christian practices with children in their homes. Fraternitas App will establish an interactive platform for fathers to build faith-sharing habits through gamification and discover age-appropriate ways to talk with their children about common spiritual questions.
