Brother

A Brother is a lay Christian man who commits his life to Christ and to the Christian community. He is part of a community committed to prayer and one another. A Brother takes vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to the order with whom he serves.

Brothers have many ministries which they may be called to and his ministry is essential to his life. Some brothers teach, others coach. They are ministers to the sick, the poor and the youth. However, beyond the ministry he is called to share, his lifestyle is what really characterizes his life.

As a Brother, he needs to be able to share fraternal friendship and love. As a community, Brothers walk side by side with those they serve with; they share morning and evening prayer, Mass and conversation. Each order has their own unique charism which is their guiding mission.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
