Brother James Dries
Brother Leonard RhoadesBROTHERS TODAY
Just as it was during the late 17th century, the Brothers continue to dedicate their entire lives to the ministry of teaching, to the students entrusted to their care, to each other, and (through all of these) to God.
For the Brothers, the ministry of education is the work of Jesus with the young people of today. Daily meditation, community prayer, liturgy and the life-giving support of religious community enable the Brothers to infuse the world of education and the young with the Gospel.
The Brother is a member of a community of men who are committed to live and work together for the educational service of the young and the poor. The Brother is a man who has answered God’s call to give himself completely to Jesus Christ through the mission of education, especially to the poor and needy.
Ideal for young men interested in the Brothers’ life and our educational mission to today’s youth—especially the children of the working class and the poor.
The Contact Program is designed to help you discern if the vocation of a Brother of the Christian Schools, with the grace of God, is his life’s path. Contacts attend any university they choose or continue in their current work situation and may participate in the program up to four years.
The Contact Program includes:
-
Personal connection with one Brother, who will help guide you in your growth in prayer and personal spirituality
-
Opportunities to attend an annual retreat with other Brothers and Contacts, all at varying stages of formation
-
Opportunities to live and work as a Brother for 4 weeks during the summer months
-
Visits to local Brother’s communities
