The copper wall decoration, made on the occasion of the General Chapter held in Kleve, Germany, in May 2016, features the pelican feeding its young with its own blood (symbol of self-sacrificing love), which also appears in the Alexian coat of arms, and on the reverse the inscription "Caritas Christi Urget Nos" - Christ's love urges us (2 Cor 5:14).

In 2016, the General Chapter of the Alexian Brothers took place from 6 to 14 May in Kleve, Germany. The meeting was attended by three Irish Alexian Brothers, Brother Dermot, Brother Barry and Brother Dominic.
