Leaven of the Diocese - The Fraternity of Verbum Spei - Diocese of Boise

Описание: In 2023, MassTransit spent a number of days with the Fraternity of Verbum Spei at the Monastery of Our Lady of Ephesus, in the Diocese of Boise (Boise, Idaho). The brothers we met and interacted with, and the volunteers we interviewed, left a lasting impression on us. The deep spirituality of the brothers of Verbum Spei manifest in each of the volunteers interviewed, and proved to be a transformational experience for us.

The Brothers of Verbum Spei came to Boise in April 2019 at the request of Bishop Peter Christensen. The main mission of the brothers is to be a contemplative presence in the diocese for the continued preparation of young men for the brotherhood, the diocesan priesthood, offering spiritual direction, and teaching ministries, especially for young adults and students.

In June 2021, thanks to the generosity of Bishop Peter and the faithful of the Diocese of Boise, the community moved to the former Nazareth Retreat Center. Renamed the Monastery of Our Lady of Ephesus, the location offers a remarkably peaceful experience in the center of the bustling City of Boise, Idaho.
