ANIMO LA SALLE!

ST. JOHN BAPTIST

DE LA SALLE

Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools

Patron of Teachers

Father of Modern Education

Born at Reims into a devout and influential family, John Baptist de La Salle received the tonsure at age eleven and was named Canon of the Reims Cathedral at sixteen. Though he had to assume the administration of family affairs after his parents died, he completed his theological studies and was ordained priest on 9 April, 1678. Two years later he received the doctorate in theology. Meanwhile he became tentatively involved with a group of rough and barely literate young men who wanted to establish schools for poor boys. Almost by accident, the young De La Salle gradually assumed the leadership of the small group of lay teachers. Moved by the plight of the poor who seemed so “far from salvation” either in this world or the next, he determined to put his own talents and advanced education at the service of the children “often left to themselves and badly brought up.” To be more effective, he abandoned his family home, moved in with the teachers, renounced his position as Canon and his wealth, and so formed the community that became known as the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

His enterprise met opposition from the ecclesiastical authorities who resisted the creation of a new form of religious life, a community of consecrated laymen to conduct gratuitous school “together and by association.” The education establishment resented his innovative methods and his insistence on gratuity for all, regardless of whether they could afford to pay.

Nonetheless De La Salle and his Brothers succeeded in creating a network of quality schools throughout France that featured instruction in the vernacular, students grouped according to ability and achievement, integration of religious instruction with secular subjects, well prepared teachers with a sense of vocation and mission, and the involvement of parents In addition, De La Salle pioneered in programs for training lay teachers, Sunday courses for working young men, and one of the first institutions in France for the care of delinquents. Worn out by austerities and exhausting labors, he died at Saint Yon near Rouen early on Good Friday, only weeks before his sixty eighth birthday.

THE THREE LASALLIAN

CORE VALUES

SPIRIT OF FAITH

The spirit of faith – The spirit of faith is a disposition of the mind and heart that (1) allows believers to interpret, judge and evaluate reality in the light of the Gospel; (2 ) moves and motivates them to contribute actively to the fulfi llment of God's saving plan; (3) enables them to take necessary risks and act.

ZEAL FOR SERVICE

LGP states that, zeal for service is a whole hearted giving of oneself to the service of others, in gratuity and generosity, in creativity and fortitude, in compassion and commitment.

COMMUNION AND MISSION

Communion recalls the dynamic of association by which the first Brothers bonded together for the sake of the particular mission entrusted to them by God.

THE FIVE CORE LASALLIAN

CORE PRINCIPLES

FAITH IN THE PRESENCE OF 1GOD .

The Lasallian school nurtures belief in the living presence of God in our world. Faith in the presence of God calls all students into a deeper awareness of their saving relationship with a caring and loving God and to see the world through the “ eyes of faith.” This core principle is reflected through this Lasallian expression of faith: “Let us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.”

2. CONCERN FOR THE POOR AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

The Lasallian school calls its members to an awareness of the poor and victims of injustice and responds to their needs through programs of community service, advocacy, and justice education. This core principle is expressed through the Lasallian ideal: “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve.”

3. RESPECT FOR ALL PERSONS

The Lasallian school engages in a concerted effort to respect the dignity of all persons. Respect- filled relationships are at the heart of Lasallian education and are a key expression of the acknowledgement of each other’s identity as children of God. This core principle is reflected through the Lasallian expression of faith: “Live Jesus in our hearts…Forever.”

4. QUALITY EDUCATION

The Lasallian school provides an education that prepares students not only for college and career but also for life. This education advances the students’ abilities to use their talents to critically examine the world in light of the message of the Gospels and to take greater responsibility for their own education. This core principle is expressed through the Lasallian ideal: “Teaching Minds and Touching Hearts.”

5. INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

The Lasallian school is a united community where diversity is respected, where no one is left out, and where everyone finds a place. Individuals within the school community recognize and accept another’s strengths and limitations. This core principle is expressed through the Lasallian ideal: “The Lasallian Family.”
