The LRC began in 2015 as a project of the District of San Francisco New Orleans (SFNO), developed and led by Brother George Van Grieken, FSC. After initial work to digitize and categorize a variety of Lasallian resources, the website launched in 2016, with additional resources being added frequently over the subsequent years. From 2015-2021, the LRC was overseen by SFNO’s Office of Education. Recognizing the broad appeal of the LRC and with sustainability in mind, in 2022, the LRC became a partnership between SFNO and Christian Brothers Conference (CBC), the office for the Lasallian Region of North America. The website fully transitioned to CBC oversight in 2023.
New resources continue to be developed and added. We invite you to contact us with suggestions and questions.
