A somewhat older 26-minute video wherein four Lasallian educators share their insights into the purpose of Lasallian schools.
This older video retains its impact because of the quality of input from the four Lasallian educators that were interviewed: Br. Luke Salm, Br. Gerard Rummery, Br. William Mann, and Br. Jack Henderson. They share their insights into the purpose and nature of Lasallian schools, and their interview are woven into a complete narrative that provides a compelling total picture of the purpose of a Lasallian school.
