Prayer & Formation Resources for Lasallian Groups

These sets of resources around specific themes are meant to be used for prayer and discussion by Lasallian educators, administrators, board members, students, and others interested in pursuing their Lasallian identity.

Many of these began with a Board focus and were adapted for use with school groups, teacher groups, Brother groups, and any groups of gathered Lasallians. If portions of them are used in other prayer services, it would appropriate to give proper attribution to the sources used.

A Little More Information

Prayerful Reflection & Mission Education

The sets of resources that are provided on this page focus on a variety of topics related to Lasallian education and the communities of individuals who take that seriously. There are some that are specific to the District of San Francisco New Orleans, and others that are more widely focused. In all cases, however, they may be profitably used by any Lasallian group that shares a similar interest.

Pastoral Letters – From the Superior General

This is an annual document written by Brother Superior General to the Brothers and the greater Lasallian Family in which he shares his thinking and outlook, his hopes and desires with respect to the Institute. It is traditional that he writes this letter at Christmas time in order to recall events of particular relevance that have occurred during the past year and to consider in some depth a certain topic that is deemed important. It is one of the ways that Brother Superior keeps in touch with the Brothers.
