The Founders - The Alexian Brothers


Passion and Motivation through the Love of Christ: The Congregation of the Alexian Brothers is a Catholic order. They live in small communities (monastries) according to the Rule of Saint Augustine and have their own constitution approved by the Catholic church.

Within this community, the individual is accepted in his own identity and personality and can experience a sense of shelteredness and solidarity. Living in a community allows the development of a deeper understanding of other human beings and thus  fosters tolerance and catholicity.
