Expand our mission… inside and out!
Coronavirus has slowed many things down, but not construction of our new chapel in New Brunswick. We look forward to showing you the finished product when life returns to normal.
We started this project because our existing chapel is too small. When guests visited, some Brothers would have to pray from the hallway. A bigger chapel will allow students and others we serve, especially young men, to join us for prayer.
Our homes are more than where we sleep and pray.
They are our mission centers.
Students who visit and pray with us experience our band of brothers serving the Church. They see what it looks like to give everything away for the Lord. It calls them to something deeper. Your gift in support of our chapel will bless the Brothers AND it will expand our mission.
“Each Brother is a temple of the Holy Spirit and this reminds our visitors that they are, too,” said Br. Ken Apuzzo, general superior. “When students walk into our house – and especially our chapel – they know they’ve entered into the house of the Lord.”
Will you help us finish this project so it is ready when life on campus returns to normal?

“When you are totally consumed by the Eucharistic fire, then you will be able more consciously to thank God, who has called you to become part of His family.” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“In prayer the soul rises above life’s sadnesses.”
-Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati
“I urge you with all the strength of my soul to approach the Eucharist Table as often as possible. Feed on this Bread of the Angels from which you will draw the strength to fight inner struggles.”
-Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“Jesus who, because of infinite love for humanity, wanted to be in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, as our Consoler and as Bread of the Soul.” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“Faith is the only anchor of salvation and we must hold tightly to it: without it, what would our lives be? Nothing, or rather, wasted, because in life there is only suffering, and suffering without faith is unbearable.” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“Nothing is more beautiful than love. Indeed, faith and hope will end when we die, whereas love, that is, charity, will last for eternity.” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“In God’s marvelous plan, Divine Providence often uses the tiniest twigs to do good works… What would life be without acts of charity?” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“You ask me whether I am in good spirits. How could I not be so? As long as Faith gives me strength I will always be joyful!” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

“The higher we go, the better we shall hear the voice of Christ.” -Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati
