St. Mary Magdalen Statue located on the campus of College of St. Mary Magdalen
Confraternities are not something new. They have been around since medieval times. But the one at the College of Saint Mary Magdalen (Magdalen.edu) is new: The Confraternity of St. Joseph launched last spring.
In existence only two semesters, it counts more than half of this New Hampshire Catholic college’s male students as members.
George Harne, the college’s president, explained why the confraternity was formed and what it hopes to accomplish.
"I think people who are striving to grow in their faith are more successful if they do it in a community of like-minded people," Harne said. "We wanted to create an intentional community for men to share their faith and encourage one another to grow spiritually."
