Auxiliary Visitor, Brother Frank Byrne, FSC
Brother Frank currently serves as President of Christian Brothers Academy, an independent, Catholic, college preparatory school for young men located in Lincroft, New Jersey. Founded in 1959 and taught in the Lasallian tradition, CBA is dedicated to helping students become intellectually mature and morally responsible leaders for the Church and society. Br. Frank is no stranger to District Administration and the larger Lasallian mission, having served as Provincial/Visitor of the legacy New York District from 2002-2009. “I am pleased that Br. Frank has graciously accepted my invitation to be an Auxiliary Visitor for the District,” said Br. Robert. “Br. Frank understands fully the impact a quality Catholic Lasallian Education can have on the lives of young people, and his experiences from the classroom to the board room will help our leadership recognize the many areas we can boldly shape our continual mission to serve the young, especially the poor.” “I am humbled to have been asked to join the District’s new administration,” said Br. Frank. “While it is an honor to be asked to serve our Brothers and Partners-in-Mission, my greatest privilege has been to lead my alma mater, CBA, these past twelve years. I will miss the opportunity to support the incredible faculty, staff, leaders, families, and most importantly the students of CBA on a daily basis. I pray my experience will hopefully benefit the larger Lasallian family."
