Apostolate

The brothers work at home and outdoors. Their houses are intentionally close to the people, so that they can best implement their ideals to work for a better and more human world.

The greatest area of work of the brothers is in education and religious formation. This is partly explained by the history of the congregation. But the brothers are also active in other areas. To give an idea of their work, we will give some examples. We also hope that the examples will make it clear how important it is that this work is done … and continues to be done!

‘In times of distress one learns to pray’. But if things go well, we forget it. In response to the need for spiritual growth, the brothers run several retreat centers. Read more…

It is on purpose that our houses are situated close to the people.
