A short video about the De La Salle Christian Brothers, as told by themselves and those who work with them.
A snapshot of how the De La Salle Christian Brothers are integrated into the mission, from the viewpoint of students, parents, teachers, and Brothers.This vocation-related video may well provide a perspective that, my extension, applies to all Lasallian administrators in Lasallian schools. Much of the content from parents and students may equally be found in a non-religious context.

This short, accessible booklet was created by an international Think-Tank of Lasallian educators that spent three years in research, conversation, and engagement around the experience and dynamics of Lasallian spirituality today. It is meant to be a resource for ongoing reflection about the Lasallian mission by Lasallian educators in a wide variety of contexts. As such, it is neither comprehensive nor the last word. It is meant to invite and empower conversations among those engaged in the Lasallina mission, no matter their level of interest, experience, or responsibility.

Brother Stephen Markham ’66 shares memories of Brother James Miller, FSC ’66, M’74 as a student at Saint Mary’s University, of his life’s work teaching young students, and of his tragic death in Guatemala in 1982. Blessed Brother James is the first De La Salle Christian Brother from the United States to be beatified. Brother Stephen describes the beatification process. As a martyr, Brother James must have one miracle attributed to him posthumously to reach the next and final step toward official sainthood, which is canonization.
