Brothers of Christian Instruction, USA Fr. Gabriel Deshayes & Fr. John Mary De La Mennais founded the Brothers of Christian Instruction on June 1819.

The Brothers live a simple life in a fraternal Community where they share in joy who they are, what they do and what they have. Everyday, where possible they meet and participate in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. Two times a day they meet and pray together in a fraternal community: in the morning - the divine office and meditation; in the evening for adoration and for Vespers. The Brothers were founde

d to make Jesus Christ better known through Christian education and instruction to the youthe. Today the Brothers are found in France, England, Italy, Spain, USA, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Tahiti, Haiti, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, French Polynesia, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Congo (DRC), Senegal, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin, and recently in South Sudan.

Today is World Refugee Day, an opportunity to recognize the God-given dignity, courage, and resilience of refugees and to renew our commitment to walk with them in hope. As Pope Leo XIV reminds us in Magnifica Humanitas, "A litmus test for social justice today is the treatment of migrants, refugees and those forced to move due to poverty, violence, climate change and environmental disasters. The way a society treats them reveals whether its sense of justice is driven by fear or by the spirit of fraternity.”

Under U.S. and international law, a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, or a well-founded fear of persecution, based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

The Catholic community in the United States has long served refugees and advocated on their behalf as a way of living out Christ’s call to welcome the stranger and affirming the sanctity of every human life. With global displacement higher today than any other time in recorded history, including through a steady rise in religious persecution, this commitment remains more important than ever before.
