Today the work has broadened to include youth work, prison pastoral care, adult education, parish support and second-chance education.
The congregation is divided into a number of provinces: Africa; Americas; Europe; India and Oceania The ERBT provides the funding for work within the regions in greatest need. Currently our focus is on the African and South American provinces.
