COMMUNITIES OF THE PROVINCE

The Brothers of Saint Gabriel live and pray together in nineteen communities across Thailand. Each community is led by a Local Superior and ordered by a common rhythm of prayer, work, and fraternal life.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY

In Religious life, a "community" (Thai: ban nakbuat) is the house in which a group of Brothers live together under a Local Superior — sharing daily prayer, meals, recreation, and fraternal correction. The community is the basic cell of Religious life, where the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience are lived in concrete form.

THE NINETEEN COMMUNITIES

The Thailand Province presently maintains nineteen communities, including:

A community-by-community list with current Local Superiors is being prepared in collaboration with the Provincial Secretariat, based on the latest annual Letter of Obedience.

A community is not simply a residence — it is the school of fraternal life, where the Brothers learn day by day what it means to live with one heart and one mind in the Lord.
