Elmbrook Student Center (Cambridge; Massachussets; USA)

Elmbrook Student Center | 25 Follen St. | Cambridge, MA 02138 | (617)-354-3204

ELMBROOK is an educational center dedicated to the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of university students and young professionals.   Elmbrook’s mission is to provide young men the resources, advice and encouragement they need to live a Christian life in their academic, professional, and social circumstances.

Elmbrook’s activities aim to help students develop their talents and see their life’s work and responsibilities in a more generous way: as a means of serving God and others, a context for personal and spiritual growth, and a means to contribute to the common good of society.  

The spiritual direction offered at Elmbrook is entrusted to Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Catholic Church.
