We are a group of pro-life Religious Brothers (9 Brothers and 1 Priest-Brother so far) who have dedicated our lives to our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church in the Franciscan Tradition (the T.O.R. Rule). We live the three holy vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience through a life of prayer, brotherhood, and the works of mercy. We were founded in 1982 in Minnesota by the late Brother Michael Gaworski under the authority of the late Archbishop John Roach of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
We proclaim The Gospel of Life throughout our apostolates, both physically and sacramentally, serving the human dignity of the most vulnerable of our society:
the Unborn & their Parents, the medically Compromised, the Poor, the Hungry, the disabled Veteran, and the Refugee.
We invite men, age 18-39, to contact us for more information about Religious Brotherhood or Religious Priesthood and to dare to make a visit.
Christ our Life, for the Gospel of Life, for our whole life.
