From the very beginning more than 800 years ago, the Alexian Brothers decided to focus on people Especially those needy people who are forced to live at the margins of society.

They follow the example of Jesus Christ, who devoted himself to these people with particular love and who asked his disciples to do the same. Their mission statement is  "Caritas Christi urget nos - The Love of Christ Compels Us“.
