“The Brothers are convinced that their fraternity, demonstrated in community and educational ministry as lay religious, is a prophetic sign for the Church and for the world.”
– Rule of the Brothers
Our Community
As Brothers, we live in community together. Our communities are where we live, share fraternity and fellowship, and where an experience of God is shared.
Our Spirituality
Our spirituality as religious Brothers is first rooted in the Gospel. Lasallian spirituality offers a distinctive way to respond to Jesus’ call in faith and zeal.
Our Mission
Our Lasallian mission is to provide a human and Christian education to the young, especially those on the peripheries of society.
Our Founder
Saint John Baptist de La Salle responded to a need to educate youth in his time by forming a community (the Brothers), the Lasallian movement continues to inspire educators today.
Today the Lasallian charism and mission continues today in 80 countries, serving one million young people each year. As Brothers of the Christian Schools (FSC – Fratres Scholarum Christianarum) we are also known as De La Salle Christian Brothers. Our community is 3,000 Brothers internationally.
Together in community, as Brothers, we live out the Gospel and our Lasallian charism through the ministry of education.
