Come learn more at the next Patricians discussion! The topic will be "Why Can't Catholics be Freemasons?". The meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 18th from 6:45 - 8:45 p.m. 

The Society of the Patricians is an informal group of Catholic adults who meet monthly under the direction of Fr. Sam Keyes to learn more about the Catholic Faith so that we can better share it with others. Contact Edel Lukens for more info HERE.
