Assemblies

Assemblies shall be organized groups of four or more chapters within any diocese, or geographical area which, with the consent of the Bishop(s) concerned, band together for better coordination of Brotherhood activity in the area concerned. Each assembly is entitled to one vote by a delegate attending a National Council meeting or by absentee ballot as prescribed in the Bylaws and in the Constitution 

Local Chapter Directors

Chapter Directors are the presiding officer/leader of the local Brotherhood of St. Andrew chapter, charged with creating an environment where chapter members will live the Brotherhood of St. Andrew’s mission and grow with Jesus Christ. They coordinate planning for regularly scheduled meetings for worship, study, and chapter events. They are the key chapter contact, interacting with the local parish, diocese, province and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew National Service Center as needed. The chapter director completes an annual report on chapter activities for the Brotherhood of St. Andrew’s national service center.



Most importantly, the Chapter Director exercises leadership of the chapter following the Brotherhood of St. Andrew’s disciplines of Prayer, Study, and Service and that they facilitate their chapter’s outreach efforts in the parish and surrounding community.

Brotherhood Chapters

A Brotherhood Chapter is the basic parish level organization. It is supported by a parish and typically has a “sponsor” attached to it. Sponsor examples would include a Diocesan Coordinator, Province President, or any other member of the National Council.


To form a chapter, there must be a minimum of five members, including the parish rector or other clergy. That clergyperson may be male or female. There are provisions for females to be members. They are called “Associate Members.” If they aren’t clergy, they would use the general membership form, either from the 2nd or 3rd link below. Of course, as time progresses new members will be added.
