Le Patro

Le Patro (short: "Patro", earlier known as "le Patronage") is a Catholic youth organization which is present in Belgium, France and Canada.

Patro in Belgium

Patro, which is recognized by the French Community of Belgium, has about 20,000 members aged from 4 to 35 years who are distributed in local groups in the French-speaking part of Belgium.

The equivalent of Patro in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium is the Chirojeugd Vlaanderen, which has more than 100,000 members.

The members of Patro meet each weekend for joint activities. The groups are led by volunteer facilitators. The members of Patro are called "les patronnés".
