De La Salle University-Dasmariñas (DLSU-D) has released the schedule for the upcoming Lasallian Mission Festival, running from February 24 to March 1, 2025.
Themed “Our Hearts on the Edge,” the festival aims to deepen the Lasallian community’s sense of mission and encourage action towards societal needs, which is inspired to St. John Baptist de La Salle’s mission of providing Christian education to the poor children of his time.
This year marks several milestones: the Year of Lasallian Spirituality, the Jubilee Year of Hope, the 300th Anniversary of the Bull of Approbation, the 125th Anniversary of St. John Baptist de La Salle’s canonization, and the 75th Anniversary of his designation as the universal patron of teachers.
The event organizer, the Campus Ministry Office (CMO), has lined up a series of events, including:
- Tapestry of Faith: The Lasallian Mission Woven Through Time Exhibit, Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo (Feb 24-Mar 1)
- Opening Ceremony, Ugnayang La Salle (Feb 26)
- Institutional Lasallian Convocation, Ugnayang La Salle (Feb 27)
- Dalaw Juan, Feb 28
