PontificalChessClub
Peace in Christ!
I wanted to create a club for Priests and Seminarians, or any faithful Catholic who has a hobby/love for Chess! I am a Seminarian myself and it seems that a decent amount of Seminarians play Chess. Hopefully targeting seminarians and Priests in the United States to join to foster community and brotherhood to bond over a common, yet legendary, game. Even having someday a Seminary vs. Seminary tournament, or Diocese vs. Diocese tournament!
Your Faithful Club President,
Brendan
Our Patron Saint, Pray for us!
"Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada of Ávila, Spain (1515-1582) — also called St. Teresa of Jesus — was a prominent Spanish mystic. She’s the patron saint of chess, and a scrappy one at that."-EWTN-UK
"She learned how to play chess and once saved a soldier’s soul by teaching him chess."- lichess.org, "Chess and the Spiritual Life"
