As we welcome Academic Year 2026–2027, De La Salle University-Dasmariñas President Br. Iñigo Riola, FSC shares a message of gratitude, reflection, and hope through his pastoral letter, Every Beginning is a Grace.
In the letter, Br. Riola reminds the Lasallian community that every new beginning is a gift from God and an opportunity to renew one's commitment to the University's mission. Looking back on the past academic year, he expresses gratitude for the people whose dedication and service have contributed to the University's continued growth and achievements.
The pastoral letter also reflects on the theme of fraternity, inspired by Lasallian Reflection No. 12: Building a Fraternal World. In a time when genuine human connections are often challenged by the demands of modern life, Br. Riola encourages the community to strengthen relationships rooted in faith, compassion, and solidarity.
As the new academic year begins, his message serves as a timely reminder that gratitude and fraternity remain at the heart of the Lasallian educational mission, guiding the community toward a future marked by hope, service, and shared purpose.
