Meet Our Patron Saint
Our Patron Saint — St. Timothy
St. Timothy, disciple and faithful companion of St. Paul, is the Patron Saint of Catholic Brothers United (CBU). A native of the region of Lystra, Timothy was known for his sincere faith and devoted service to the Gospel. He became a trusted missionary companion of St. Paul and was later appointed Bishop of Ephesus.
The Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Timothy and St. Titus on January 26.
Inspired by St. Timothy's faith, courage, loyalty, service and commitment to the Gospel, CBU seeks to encourage Catholic men and the lay faithful to grow in faith, strengthen Christian families, support the Church, and serve God and humanity.
CBU celebrates the Feast of St. Timothy on January 26th, preceded by a nine-day novena in prayer and spiritual preparation.
