Retired Lasallians in the Midwest, known as Lasallian Companions, share their experiences building community, enriching their spiritual lives, and assisting ministries. Retirement does not mean losing connection to or commitment to the Lasallian charism. Through both large group and small group gatherings, as well as individual contributions, Lasallian Companions connect and contribute throughout the year with monthly book, articles and movie discussions via Zoom, yearly in-person gatherings as well as providing retreat ministries with assistance. For several years, including during COVID, Lasallian Companions remained connected with each other, the Midwest District and the larger Lasallian world by offering assistance and service to ministries and other organizations. Together, and in association, the Lasallian charism is a lifelong gift that those who have retired from active ministry can share with one another and the current Lasallian ministries.
