Bruté Society
An honorary association of southwestern Indiana Catholics, the Bruté Society includes lay persons who have been recognized by their fellow parishioners as outstanding models of Christian stewardship. Inductees are selected annually through a parish-wide nomination process.
Established in 1990 as an official activity of the Diocese of Evansville, the Bruté Society was established to accomplish several purposes:
- To acknowledge and give thanks to God for exemplary Catholic stewardship demonstrated by individual members of the parishes of the Diocese of Evansville.
- To promote an ever-deepening commitment to stewardship as the way of life for all Catholics in southwestern Indiana.
- To give public witness to the unity of all parishes of the Diocese of Evansville.
- To provide an annual inspirational celebration for the Catholic Church in southwestern Indiana.
