Br. Brutus was a wonderful part of our Colombiere community and he will be missed very much.

What a fascinating,...

The Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus remembers Br. Brutus Clay, SJ with affection for his 58 years of service and is grateful to the many friends and benefactors who helped make that service possible.

My Uncle Brutus was a real man of God.
He lived his life in a very humble way trying to make this world a better place.
He was always very passionate about Kentucky.Before he joined the Jesuits he was a good farmer here at Runnymede.
I would enjoy hearing his stories about raising livestock and breeding race horses.
We will always miss you Uncle Brutus.

Love,

JOSEPH CLAY
