The Southeast Region of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity Domestic (BSCD), is a growing and vibrant covenant community of Christian men, women, and families who desire to live a life of monastic spirituality in the secular world, and are called to the particular charisms and spirituality of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity. We desire to be a sign and symbol of a deep commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for the purposes of the renewal of the Church and the world. Our Apostolic Ministries within our broader communities are meant to reflect the vision of the BSC and draw people into deeper relationship with Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Southeast Region includes 9 states in the southeast corner of the United States: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
In the Southeast Region, we have two regularly scheduled gatherings. These include prayer, study/teaching, discussion, and fellowship:
- Weekly Zoom meeting every Sunday from 7:00-8:00pm(ET) to pray Evening Prayer together, followed by discussion of Sunday Mass readings or a teaching from BSC resources.
- Holy Fire Cell Group- Louisville (KY) Area meets on the 3rd Saturdays of each month from 4:30-6:00pm followed by optional potluck dinner, fellowship, and Evening Prayer. We also meet (adults only) on one Friday each month from 7:00-9:00pm at St. Louis Bertrand Catholic Church in Louisville. There are also monthly nights for Holy Fire Men and Holy Fire Women and weekly Evening Prayer on Tuesdays in the Louisville, KY, area and on Wednesdays in the Corydon, IN, area.
- Tampa (FL) Area Cell Group This group is in the process of being organized with the goal of meeting monthly.
Those who do not live in these particular areas can also be active members of the BSC community through phone and internet and by attendance at yearly BSC Gatherings. In addition, our Southeast Regional Gathering is held annually near Atlanta, GA, every June and our General Gathering for the whole community is held annually in early October at Little Portion Hermitage and Monastery, near Berryville, Arkansas.
