The Lasallian Mission

Mission is a big word. For us, mission means how and why we educate young boys and girls and young men and women from kindergarten to advanced university degrees.  We think of our mission as educating minds & touching hearts with the love of Christ, and preparing those entrusted to our care for a viable life in the real world.

When you partner with us as educators, staff, administrators, associates, donors, and as volunteers, you become associated as part of the Lasallian mission worldwide. We are people who are concerned for and have compassion for those our ministries serve, your participation helps us to advance our critical mission. 
Please know that we are grateful.

Leaving a Legacy


Lasallian Formation for Mission

The Lasallian mission is an expression of God’s loving concern, oriented particularly towards the wellbeing of the young and the poor, and lived out in association by an educational community. This community becomes a visible sign of the presence of God and gives expression to a variety of vocations in the Church. The model of living religious Brotherhood created by John Baptist de La Salle and his first companions has inspired lay partners to understand and appreciate the Lasallian vocation lived out in diverse ways. These diverse vocationscomplement one another and bring a fullness and dynamism to the mission that it might otherwise lack.

Association

The future of the Lasallian educational mission, in continuity with its historical past, seems to suggest that its future will continue through the work of all those who choose to partner to continue the educational movement launched by John Baptist de La Salle and generations of Brothers.

It all began with an idea. Saint John Baptist De la Salle thought, “Maybe there is a different way to approach students and education all together.” The result has been a 340 year long story of commitment to that same idea. Students first.
