| Inspired by the vision of our Founder,
St John Baptist De La Salle, our Lasallian network provides
education and welfare services for young people across
Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and beyond, with
a particular focus on the poor and marginalised. The De
La Salle Brothers are a religious congregation of men
within the Catholic Church who were founded in 1679 by
a French priest and scholar, John Baptist De La Salle.
De La Salle and his first teachers recognised the importance
of developing positive relationships with their students,
calling themselves "older brother" to the young
people in their care and "brother" to one another.
Today over 6,000 Brothers and many thousands of lay partners
supportive of the ethos and ideals of St De La Salle are
continuing this tradition in universities, schools and
other educational and welfare institutions in over 80
countries |
