Who are we?

Since 1883, the Young Men’s Institute (YMI) has been operating

as a fraternal Catholic order supporting its motto of “Pro Deo, Pro

Patria” (For God, For Country). Today, over 2500 members (called

brothers) honor this motto by working together on worthwhile

programs & activities for our Catholic faith & communities.

In addition, the YMI sponsors a variety of fun, social events (e.g.,

dinners, tournaments, picnics) and offers generous benefits (e.g.

scholarships, death benefits) for members & their families.
