Lasallian Formation
We are here to accompany you on a journey of faith, service, and community as you discover what it truly means to be Lasallian.
Lasallian Formation
Who We Are
At DLSU-D we are dedicated to holistic human and Christian formation of every member of our university. We are formators who believe that faith, zeal, and communion are more than just ideals—they are the foundations of our vibrant community.
Our Core Values
Our mission is brought to life through three central pillars:
- Faith: Trusting in God's presence and living with conviction.
- Service: Offering ourselves generously for the good of others.
- Communion in Mission: Building unity and collaboration to care for one another.
Programs Designed for Students

Your years at university are a journey of discovery. Our tiered recollection and retreat program is designed to meet you where you are:

Empowering Our Formators & Lasallian Partners
At ULFO, we believe that formation is a lifelong pilgrimage. We provide specialized programs for our administrators, faculty, staff, and the ULFO team to ensure they are equipped to lead, inspire, and accompany the community with a grounded Lasallian heart.
