Grow

BTC teachers are challenged to grow personally and spiritually by living in an intentional faith community. 
Life in Community
Two cohorts live together forming a community of approximately twelve fellows. Most cohorts range from 6-8 teachers. The fellows share responsibilities within the community such as cooking and daily chores. Each fellow has their own room. They all share common spaces such as the kitchen, family room, community space, chapel, laundry room and even a ping pong table.  

The community is housed in an old convent attached to a thriving St. Louis parish. The parish community is incredibly welcoming and provides many opportunities for engagement.​
Community Events have included:
A Cardinal’s game
A trip to the St. Louis Zoo
Brunch

TEACH ME. by St. Ignatius of Loyola

Lord, teach me to be generous,
to serve you as you deserve,
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to look for any reward,
save that of knowing that I do your holy will.
