“Teach na mBráthre: Where Tradition and Service Thrive”
In the heart of Dublin, a place of both tradition and service has thrived for over four decades. August 1978 marked the inception of “Teach na mBráthre,” the oldest house of formation for Brothers in the Dublin District of the Divine Word Missionaries. Dedicated to our Lady of Lourdes, this residence embodies the essence of community and faith.
Located amidst the vibrant life of Dublin, this residence accommodates six permanent members in the main house, offering comfortable living spaces and a welcoming guest room.
Within these walls, the community includes the provincial, SVD coordinators in the Province, and some retired members who diligently tend to the needs of the house, nurturing its continued existence.
Life at “Teach na mBráthre” revolves around shared moments of devotion. The day begins with the Eucharist and Morning Prayer at 8 a.m., followed by a communal breakfast. The residents take pride in maintaining their independence, handling their own cooking and house maintenance. Lunch is served at 1:30 p.m. for those who desire it, but evenings often see each member preparing their own meals.
In the harmonious blend of faith, tradition, and self-sufficiency, “Teach na mBráthre” embodies the spirit of the Divine Word Missionaries. It stands not only as a residence but as a testament to the enduring commitment to service and faith, enriching the lives of those within and beyond its walls.
