Our identity
ABOUT FISHERS OF MEN
Fishers of Men, responding to Christ's call, detach from the world, dedicate to His teachings, joyfully share the Gospel.
As Fishers of Men, we actively respond to Christ’s exhortation to the first apostles and to all members of the Catholic Church. Christ came to St. Peter and St. Andrew, saying to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men,” (Mark 1:16). Inspired by this call, Peter and Andrew dropped everything and followed Christ, the One who would teach them how to be true fishers of men. Similarly, as a brotherhood, we live our daily lives with the goal of detaching ourselves from the world so we can dedicate our lives fully to Christ’s call. We take the joyful message Christ proclaims in the Gospel and seek to share it with others. Furthermore, we strive to truly know, understand, and follow the teachings of the Catholic Church so we can reveal it to the whole world and be true fishers of men.
