Brother Martin is a thriving school, forming young men in the charism of our founder, Father André Coindre, and in the educational tradition of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. We have always had generous benefactors who support us through time, talent, and treasure. From prayers to pilings, we have grown in mission because of the love shown to us by our friends, graduates, current students, and families, young and old. We have an incredible facility with which to form students. Over this past year, the Tom and Gayle Benson Mall was completely renovated with state of the art lighting, technology, and expanded seating and food service areas, including the Crusader Cafe and the Milton and Christine Dureau Food Court. Our ultramodern library, strategically relocated to the center of our academic campus, serves students in ways to expand their minds and prepare them for college and beyond. And starting in May 2019, we will begin “cooling the Conlin” gym, bringing air conditioning into our largest student assembly venue on campus.
