Brother House is always in need of used men's pants- jeans and cargo work pants are best. Smaller sizes are in demand (30-34 waist) but we will take any!!

Religious sisters should not be forced to choose between caring for the poor and obeying their conscience, the Little Sisters of the Poor told the Supreme Court in a recent legal brief, adding that this is what the government is demanding of them through the HHS mandate.

We have an army vet who is asking for a tent if anyone has one to donate. He needs shelter and says that "he's a survivor" Please email [email protected] if you can help him out!

Any plumbers or HVAC friends out there? Brother House has had an ongoing problem with the hot water supplying the shower that we would like to fix. If the toilet or sinks are used while a guest is in the shower, the water gets scalding HOT!!! :( If there is anyone willing to address this problem for us and our men please email [email protected]. Thank you!

Never do to anyone else anything that you would not want someone to do to you. Give food to the hungry and clothes to people in need. If you are prosperous, give generously, and do it gladly! – Tobit 4 (Breviary morning reading edited)

The "Brother House" is a work of the Legion of Mary located in Norristown, PA. Our Mission is to see and serve Jesus in the men who come to our socials, just as Mary His mother did. Brother House socials are open free of charge to all men 18 and older every Sunday and Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm. Socials offer coffee, cold drinks and light snacks, TV, pool, companionship and prayer in a friendly environment. Showers, barber facilities and clothing are available for those in need.
