NEWS 2020 HUETHER LASALLIAN CONFERENCE GOES VIRTUAL
The 2020 Huether Lasallian Conference is going virtual! In light of COVID-19 concerns and in alignment with this year’s theme, “Great Things are Possible: Our Lasallian Mission Reimagined and Renewed,” the Office for Lasallian Education at Christian Brothers Conference and the planning committee have reimagined the gathering to bring compelling content to a virtual format. The conference is partnering with Eduscape

Keynote speakers Dr. Nekeshia Hammond, past president of Florida Psychological Association, and Jeff Yalden, motivational speaker, will present their keynote addresses online. Participants will also have the opportunity to virtually attend breakout sessions, pray together and build community through an online networking feature. Huether will take place November 19-21 at no cost to ministries or participants. Visit www.Lasallian.info/Huether to learn more.
FOUR YOUNG BROTHERS TAKE PART IN NOVITIATE Four Brothers from the Lasallian Region of North America (RELAN) are taking part in their yearlong novitiate experience at the Regional Novitiate in Chicago, Illinois. Brothers Kyle Mena and Joseph (J.D.) Macioce, of the District of Eastern North America, Brother Steven Angulo, of the Midwest District, and Brother Rafael Rodriguez, of the District of San Francisco New Orleans, joined Brother Thomas Johnson, FSC, Novitiate director, and Brother Steven Vasoli, FSC, Novitiate subdirector, to begin their novitiate on July 27, 2020. In addition to the in-house formation the Brothers are receiving, they are participating in programs of
