Our story began in 2001, on the outskirts of São Paulo, Brazil, as a response to the suffering of young people struggling with drugs, violence, and social exclusion. What began as a small project of a Rehab House became a Religious Institute of Consecrated Life. Today, we are a Community that brings together consecrated members, priests, lay associates, families, and those who were helped by the mission itself — transforming lives and raising new witnesses of hope.
Our charism is born from a deep and bold desire: to belong completely to Jesus and to allow Him to be the center, the meaning, and the measure of our entire life.
More than following Him from a distance, we seek to live a real union with Christ, allowing His thoughts, choices, and teachings to shape us in His own likeness and image.
We follow the poor Christ, the humble and obedient, recognizing in Him the perfect model of a life totally given to the Father. We are called to love as He loved: with total self-giving, without reserves, especially toward the poor, the wounded, and the forgotten.
This calling takes concrete form in daily life, in a way of living marked by simplicity, trust in God, and generous availability to serve.
In this way, our charism is not merely an inspiration, but a concrete path of configuration to Christ—lived through self-gift, fidelity, and a love that becomes presence.
We serve those experiencing homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and social exclusion. Every person we welcome is not only helped, but restored, reintegrated, and called back to hope.
Inspired by the first disciples, we share life, mission, and faith, seeking to live the commandment of love in its most concrete form. We believe that holiness is not a solitary path, but a daily journey lived together.
Here, we become brothers: brothers among ourselves, brothers to those outside, and above all, brothers to the poor.
Today, our Fraternity is present across Brazil, Africa, Europe, and the United States.
In the United States, our mission continues to grow as a response to the search for meaning, belonging, and transformation of life.
A vocation is born from God’s love for you.

A life with purpose.
A life totally for Christ.
