Our Mission – Jesus Satisfies

God searches. He searches for the unsatisfied, those longing for something more.

And He searches for men to find them, men willing to offer their lives to Him, even as His Son did for them.

“In a world where so many people are looking to be filled and finding themselves empty, we say, in our life—through the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience—that Jesus satisfies, that He actually is enough.”-Br. Parker Jordan, BH

“The brothers meet people where they are, and on a college campus, wherever the brothers go, they’re always bringing people to experience the love of the Lord and the life of the Church.” -Zachary Janowski, Executive Director for Advancement

“I think the brothers, my friends and I talk often about, that they have a special charism for college students and there’s just something so indescribable about them.” -Student

“They’re very welcoming. You can basically talk to them about literally anything that’s on your mind.” -Student

“The brothers, they make me feel at home, whether it’s a little piece of wisdom or just like the joy the brothers show us. They’re so unique, so different. I couldn’t imagine my college journey without them.” -Student

“What we talk about is relational evangelism. It’s getting out and meeting the students where they’re at, talking to them, showing them how to build relationships with one another and to know that they belong.” -Br. Stephen Quense, BH

“The Brotherhood of Hope is really wonderful. They have an amazing mission where they bring Catholic campus ministry to secular college campuses. They are inspiring, they are charismatic, and they are just very strong and faithful men.” -Amy Kline, Alum and Supporter

"Pope Francis would say, they have the smell of the sheep—they will go where you're at, to show you that, out of where you're at, you can develop a relationship with Christ that is alive and vibrant." -Professor Andreas & Michelle Widmer, Supporters

“I love the space of being a brother in the university world because it gives me the freedom to be on campus, be right in the heart, in the center. I’m not waiting for them to come through my doors or come into a church.” -Br. Martin Buganski, BH

"If I had a choice how to live my life it would be like a brother. The absence of fear in almost anything they do is really inspiring." -Student

“They also just make me feel like I have infinite potential in my faith and that there’s so much more for me.” -Student

"In Boston we are very blessed to have the Brothers of Hope here. Having these men whose lives are dedicated to taking the gospel to young people is a great blessing for us." -Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Boston

“Anybody that gives, you want to know that they’re achieving results. The results that you see from the Brotherhood are nothing shy of amazing. Just go to any university and see the hundreds of young people growing in faith and moving towards our Lord.” -Deacon R.J. Dourney, Supporter

"We're always one generation away from extinction. Are we ready to try new ways of reaching young people with the gospel? It's going to require more resources. It's going to require more investment of our time, but who will go? If we don't give that to them, who will?" -Br. Parker Jordan, BH
