Club Magellan for Fathers & Sons
Club Magellan is a program of Wespine Study Center (wespine.org). Wespine runs programs which promote the academic and character development of young men. All of Wespine’s activities are based on a Christian worldview, and the Catholic Prelature Opus Dei (opusdei.org) takes responsibility for ensuring that this Christian orientation is present in Wespine’s programs.
Why Club Magellan
Club Magellan helps boys to develop virtues (fortitude, temperance, etc.) through talks and fun activities.
Talks for the fathers show them the importance of developing virtues and strong characters in their sons and give them practical advice on how to do this.
Fathers have an opportunity to spend meaningful time with their sons.
