Today is Religious Brothers Day! Pray this prayer that Saint Joseph will guide all Religious Brothers:

Loving God, through the intercession of St. Joseph, the holy Religious Brothers, and all the saints, we pray that you strengthen Brothers in their total gift of themselves to you, bless them with new vocations to Consecrated Life of the Religious Brother, and help Brothers and the young people you entrust to them grow as your instruments of communion. O God, we humbly ask you that by Saint Joseph’s example, that each brother cherish in their heart the gift of love and communion given to them by your Son, so that they may be instruments of your communion, and thus respond to your call for them to be holy. We ask this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord.

Even seemingly-cosmetic choices, such as wall colors, furniture patterns, and dishware, make a difference.

AFA created The Apartment—a model studio residence built in AFA’s New York City headquarters—to showcase ways that practical design and technology can greatly increase the quality of life for someone living with dementia and help family care partners protect their loved ones’ safety.
