PARENT INFORMATION SUMMARY
FNE—Federation of North American Explorers!
With Founder Paul Ritchie
FNE offers boys and girls a dynamic Catholic program filled with outdoor adventure, service, leadership, teamwork, camp life, discovery, and lifelong friendships — all rooted in the Catholic faith and guided by joyful mentors who care deeply about helping young people become the men and women God created them to be.
Whether your child loves nature, adventure, creativity, challenge, or simply wants to belong to something meaningful, FNE provides an experience unlike any other. Learn how FNE is helping families raise joyful, faithful, courageous young Catholics in today’s world. Many families say FNE becomes more than a program — it becomes a second family.

If you and your family are registered parishioners and attend St. Aloysius Parish frequently, please fill in the Pre-Registration Forms found at the back of the church. We are looking forward to gather all children in our parish to grow in faith through the St. Aloysius FNE Group.
The Explorers is a method of education of the child through a pedagogy developed by Father Jacques Sevin and Baden-Powell.
"Our mission is a bold one: to help all our members become everyday saints and through them to bring God’s joy and peace to the families and communities of North America. We do this through camping, playing, cooking, the outdoors, helping others along with a deep sense of brotherhood or sisterhood. We welcome you to explore who the FNE family is. My hope is that through browsing our website you will be inspired to explore the depths of the program awaiting your son or daughter through a well-proven program and method. We would be honoured and thrilled if you or your child joins us in this positive and exciting way of life."
