This is a monthly newsletter published in Rome in eight languages giving news of events in the Order throughout the world. The first issue of Fraternitas, written in Latin, goes back to 10th November 1967, at the time of the Minister General Constantine Koser who wanted it to be a tool for strengthening the bonds between Fraternities in the Order. It has been online since 1998 and available only through the Internet since 2002. The link below will take you to a list of every issue published since 1998, from which you can select and view any one either as a Word document or in pdf. The latter is preferable, as it alone gives you the full layout in columns, pictures and colour.
