St. Aloysius, Hickory
A Local Fraternus® Chapter in Hickory, NC
“If a man boasts of loving God, while he hates his own brother, he is a liar. He has seen his brother, and has no love for him; what love can he have for the God he has never seen? No, this is the divine command that has been given us; the man who loves God must be one who loves his brother as well.”
– 1 John 4:20-21

EXCURSIONS
From St. John Bosco to Bl. Pierre Giorgio Frassati to St. John Paul II, saints with a particular skill at reaching the hearts of young men know that when you bring them out into creation, they become more open to the Creator. Fraternus Excursions are a chance for men and boys to engage the outdoors in adventure, prayer, and solid formation.
