Just a short distance from the Brophy campus, Faber Stable has quickly become one of Brophy’s most meaningful spaces. Once a residential house serving a completely different purpose, the building now acts as a place for student retreats, reflection, and connection.
Before belonging to Brophy, Faber Stable used to belong to Boys Hope, an organization that provided housing and support for students who needed a stable living environment. For years, Boys Hope’s mission has closely aligned with Brophy’s values and has offered opportunities to young people striving for academic and personal growth.
When Boys Hope discontinued their residential program in 2023, it reached out to Brophy, and eventually, Brophy took over the property. “Because of our close partnership with them, they reached out to us to see if they’re interested in acquiring the property,” Said Mr. Drew Rau
Inside the building itself, there are many references to the Phoenix Suns. When asked about this, Mr. Rau said, “A reasonable guess is that the Suns also contributed to the place.”
The name “Faber Stable” came from Mr. Bryce Deline, who is one of the caretakers of the building alongside Mrs. Dominika Deline. During Peter Faber’s preaching, he referenced Jesus being born in a stable and how it reminds us to be humble. “Stable” also matches the horse aesthetic of the Broncos.
In the future, all students can expect to visit Faber Stable at least once while at Brophy, whether it’s for a sports retreat or a school retreat. “One cool thing is that since it’s so new to Brophy, we’re still finding ways it can be used,” said Mr. Rau.
