Today the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools celebrates their founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle. It is extra special this year, marking the 75th anniversary of De La Salle being declared the Patron Saint of Teachers by Pope Pius XII.
Here is a video message from the Superior General, Brother Armin Luistro to the Lasallian Family on this special day.
Let us remember Saint John Baptist de La Salle and the gifts he left us with his spirituality and pedagogy as we pray:
God, who chose Saint John Baptist de La Salle for the Christian education of the youth, inspire teachers for your Church who are dedicated to serve the new generation, in school and throughout life. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
Happy Feast Day!
