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.
