The Brothers in Denver, Colorado
Transfiguration Priory
Our newest priory in the United States and founded in 2015 is in Denver. One of the primary missions is the Saint John Institute, a two-year program for forming tomorrow’s entrepreneurs in the business world so that they are equipped to bring Catholic values to the marketplace. The two-year program allows candidates to receive an MBA with an emphasis in entrepreneurship while at the same time receiving in-depth philosophy and theology classes. The Brothers also built and run a retreat center called Regina Caeli Hermitage located in the Rocky Mountains yet only 30 minutes from downtown Denver.
