THE LEGATUS MISSION To study, live and spread the

Faith in our business, professional and personal lives.

Study:

Ongoing education is at the heart of Legatus. We are matching members, who have a thirst for knowledge, with

the most profound and convincing body of religious knowledge in the history of human thought.

Live:

Translating the teachings of Christ and the social teachings of the Church into practical applications help our members become eminently pragmatic about their

faith.

Spread:

Legatus is the Latin word for “Ambassador”. Our members don’t typically wear their faith on their

shirtsleeves. They spread the faith through good example, good deeds and high ethical standards.

Legatus currently provides service to over 2,500 businesses in over 90 chapters (and growing) across the United States,

and internationally on three continents.

Each month our members enjoy the benefits of:
