On April 7, 1719, St. John Baptist De La Salle passed away in Rouen, France, leaving a legacy of over a thousand Lasallian institutions across 78 countries. His mission spans wherever people teach, inspire, and transform lives through faith, service, and communion.

Saint La Salle's Mission

Faith

Living in the spirit of faith means seeking something greater than oneself. For those who may not speak of faith, it's still an invitation to live with intention and bring meaning to everyday life, even in quiet or unseen ways. It starts by recognizing we are in the presence of God, a practice that guides us to live with purpose and care each day.

Service

Living in the spirit of service is responding to others' needs with care and compassion. It’s not about grand gestures, but being present, acting, and adding care to even the smallest tasks. In the Lasallian tradition, service means honoring the dignity of every person and ensuring no one is left behind.

Communion

Living in the spirit of communion means recognizing that everyone has something valuable to contribute to the mission. In the Lasallian tradition, community is not just where we belong—it’s how we grow and become.
