The idea of patronage refers to the properties of a patron.
Patronage is a term that comes from the Latin patronātus and refers to the properties or rights that patrons possess. The concept is also used to name the corporation developed by the employers.
Patron or patron, on the other hand, is the protector or guardian and the saint to whom the ownership of a church is attributed. A community or collective entrusts itself to an employer to request its protection.
In a similar sense, by extension, the entity developed to control and ensure that certain missions are fulfilled is known as a board of trustees. A board of trustees, therefore, can be the body that represents a foundation and is responsible for managing its rights and the assets that make up its patrimonial wealth.
Right of patronage
In this way, we can establish that the concept of patronage rights also exists. It refers to the set of privileges that the person who acts as an employer has in the performance of his or her duties and positions. All of those, of course, will be clearly delimited in what is the corresponding statute.
In the same way, the term has been used to refer to the privileges that kings have had throughout history in religious matters. With this, what we are referring to is the fact that they had the capacity to carry out the election of the people they wanted to occupy the different episcopal positions. To do this, they presented them to the Holy See as their candidates.
In ancient times there was the right of patronage.
Different entities
In this sense, and taking this meaning of the term in question as a point of reference, we can emphasize that, for example, in Spain it is common for the city councils of many cities and municipalities to have Sports Boards . What is done in them is to ensure the facilities of this type that they have and to promote the practice of various sports modalities.
The Club Atlético Patronato de la Juventud Católica , on the other hand, is a sports and social entity based in Paraná, a town in the Argentine province of Entre Ríos . It was founded on February 1, 1914 and has disciplines such as football (where it currently competes in the second division), basketball, field hockey and volleyball.
Known simply as Patronato , the club plays its football matches at the Presbítero Bartolomé Grella stadium, which was inaugurated in 1956 and has a capacity of 22,000 spectators.
Board of Trustees in Chile
In Chile , Patronato is the name of a metro railway station and a neighborhood in Santiago de Chile .
The latter neighborhood has the privilege of being one of the most traditional in the capital and whose origin is inextricably linked to that of the Arab merchants since they were the ones who established it. Hence, currently there is great commercial activity in this area thanks to the multiple establishments it has.
