WHAT IS SOCIETY OF THE 12?
Society of the 12 is a Catholic social club created for adults discerning their vocation and relationships — to meet people, build meaningful community, and enjoy a vibrant lifestyle rooted in faith.
Through intentionally formed groups, social gatherings, dinners, sports, retreats, trips, service initiatives, and formation programs, the Society creates real-world spaces where friendship grows naturally.
WHY DOES SOCIETY OF THE 12 EXIST?
Most adults drift socially after college or graduate school. Society of the 12 exists to build intentional Catholic social life, where people meet new friends, host one another, serve together, discern relationships, and grow in holiness without isolation. Community should not be accidental. It should be cultivated.
IS IT ONLY FOR SINGLES?
The Society primarily serves Catholics who are not yet married. Some members are dating. Some become engaged or married. Some remain involved as mentors or hosts. The goal is to build durable friendships that continue through every stage of life.
IS IT ONLY FOR VERY DEVOUT CATHOLICS?
The Society is rooted in Catholic faith and tradition. Members are expected to respect and uphold this culture. What matters most is integrity, openness to growth, and a sincere desire for real community.
IS THIS A DATING OR MATCHMAKING SERVICE?
No.
Members of the Society prioritize friendship first, because healthy courtship grows best in real community. When people know one another through shared life and mutual respect, romantic discernment becomes more natural and human. Relationships are welcomed, but being a good wingman or wingwoman is encouraged even more.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Society is organized into Tribes and Chapters.
Tribes gather members around shared lifestyle, values, and interests.
Chapters group members by age and stage of life.
This structure provides:
• consistent peer groups
• cross-generational friendships
• mentorship and support
• shared hospitality and experiences
The result is smaller, real-world communities within a larger social network.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF MEMBERS?
Society of the 12 is built on initiative, hospitality, and respect. This is not a passive subscription. It is a lived community. Members are encouraged to:
• show up consistently
• contribute to gatherings
• support one another
• protect the culture of faith and integrity
Strong community requires participation.
WHAT DOES COMMUNITY LIFE LOOK LIKE?
Members will get access and invitations to:
• hosted dinners and brunches
• sports and fitness activities
• social nights and cultural outings
• retreats, trips, and pilgrimages
• service initiatives
• discussion salons and formation gatherings
Everything is designed to be embodied, joyful, and rooted in faith.
WHO LEADS THE SOCIETY?
Society of the 12 operates under founder-led stewardship with the support of Mentors. Mentors serve as stewards of culture, protecting the spirit and mission of the Society through example and guidance. As the Society grows, local chapter leaders may be commissioned to build community in their cities.
IS THERE A COST?
Membership is structured in tiers, with both free and full-access options. Full members receive priority access, deeper integration into Tribes, and eligibility for leadership roles.
