The Sons of St. Patrick, a society of Catholic men at Boston College, is dedicated to fostering a community of virtue, character, and faith amongst our peers and surrounding society. Founded on the pillars of Faith, Fortitude, and Fraternity, we seek to create a brotherhood of Christian gentlemen dedicated to leading virtuous lives, whose actions reflect an understanding of what it means to be a true disciple of Christ.
Meetings for evening prayer, discussion, and fraternity are held in St. Mary’s Hall on Thursdays from 7-8 p.m.
Faith - Fortitude - Fraternity
The Sons of St. Patrick commit to daily prayer, Mass twice a week, and monthly confession, confident that it is through an ever-deepening relationship with Jesus Christ that we will be able to respond with courage and humility to our call to holiness as individuals and as a community.
Through prayer, conversation, action, and brotherhood, we seek nothing less than the spiritual and social transformation of ourselves and the society around us: through Christ, in Christ, with Christ, and for Christ!

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
