Fellowship Events
Brotherhood/Sisterhood Week is observed during the third week of February. Its purpose is to further understanding among people of all cultures and religions. During Brotherhood/Sisterhood Week, people are reminded through schools, churches, synagogues, civic and fraternal organizations, the press, radio, and television to live according to the principles of fellowship, equality, and justice.The idea of a special occasion to promote brotherhood was advanced by Father McMenamin of Denver in 1929 and was first celebrated in 1933. By the early 1940's, enthusiastic response turned Brotherhood Day into Brotherhood Week. In 1978, the name was changed to Brotherhood/Sisterhood Week. It is celebrated in the United States and in other parts of the world. Brotherhood/Sisterhood Week is sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews.
