No, they cannot. Brothers do not have the same vows as a priest so therefore they can only attend and participate (say a reading) but they cannot prepare communion or anything.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe ordained clergy consists of bishops, priests, and deacons. Bishops, and priests by virtue of their ordination have the ability, given by God, to say Mass and confect the Eucharist. Monks, and Brothers, are (except in the case of an ordained monk) members of the laity, albeit with a religious vocation, and thus unable to celebrate the sacraments.

Why some priests say brothers instead of brothers and sisters during the penitential rite during the mass?
Roman Catholic AnswerI have only heard the word "brothers" used alone when I was at a monastery or in the seminary and no women were present at Mass. You may have heard the word, "brethren" which is a translation of the original Latin and would refer to all the people at Mass regardless of gender.

What percentage of Catholics go to Church?
.Catholic AnswerI would be tempted to say 100% if only for the reason that to be a Catholic is to faithfully observe the laws of the Church and to be a Catholic means that you must attend Mass every Sunday and holy day. However there are a lot of people who say that they are "Catholic" even if they don't attend Mass each week, I am assuming that is what you are referring to. A little over 75% of the people who CLAIM to be Catholic do not attend weekly Mass.
Do Catholic monks celebrate Mass?
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. A Catholic monk celebrates Mass if he was ordained to the priesthood. Usually what used to be called choir monks were all ordained to the priesthood, while claustral or lay brothers were the monks who did all the manual labor around the monastery.

Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
