CUSA: Apostolate for Persons with Chronic Illness

CUSA Logo

Confined to her bed in the 1940’s by congestive heart failure, Mrs. Laure Brunner founded CUSA as a way to break the isolation of her chronic illness forced upon her. Today CUSA continues to connect people suffering from chronic illness and/or disability – physical or mental – through correspondence (both postal and electronic) so that they will not be forcibly isolated from human contact.

CUSA Members:

• Seek to help people answer their particular call to holiness.

• Foster friendships and support in the face of physical and mental illness/disability.

• Welcome all regardless of financial means or religious affiliation.

• Help people come to understand the cost of discipleship.

• Rejoice in the opportunity to serve those in need of prayer and support.
