Our calling is to serve the Lord Jesus in mission not as independent individuals but in a brotherhood. Choosing to be a Brother in religious life is one way of being a Christian and living out one's baptism. In a church experiencing rapid growth and change, a Brother stands as a witness that Christ is among us. He is a sign of hope, love and guidance. A Brother lives a Gospel-centered life in a celibate community.
Community living forms an essential part of the brother's life.
Jesus gathered his disciples about Him and worked closely with them. A Brother strives to do the same by balancing thought and action, work and prayer. A Brother joins the Congregation of Holy Cross to engage in its apostolic mission. Active in a variety of ministries throughout the world, a Brother's responsibilities may range from teaching in universities to serving the high school apostolate, from serving in administrative capacities to organizing social action programs, from overseeing the operation and maintenance of community buildings and property to serving in international missions.
