De la salle Christian brothers

The opening day of the Year of Consecrated Life, November 21, 2014, was of special significance to the Brothers of the Christian Schools.  Auxiliary Visitor Brother Charles Kitson, FSC, describes "The Heroic Vow and Consecrated Life" in a recent newsletter published by the Brothers' District of Eastern North America.  The article appeared exactly 323 years after John Baptist de La Salle had joined with his principal brothers to "remain in a life-long association for the running of the Christian Schools no matter what."  Check out Brother Charles' article and a video about this "heroic vow" here.

The Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Tennessee recently prepared a special video on Brother Joel McGraw who is celebrating 50 years as a Brother.  This video is a wonderful tool with which to celebrate the Year of Consecrated Life, especially to educate others on the call to be a religious brother.

Read more here about this group of Brothers of the Christian Schools (De la Salle Christian Brothers) from around the world, who gathered together for their 44th General Chapter in Rome.  They represent the diversity of individuals who have followed God's call to answer educational needs wherever they are. De la Salle Christian Brothers today work, live, and pray their vocational journey forward each day of their lives – supported by others, fully engaged in the ministry of education, and regularly surprised by joy.
