213 Years as Brothers

New Feast Day: Relocation of Remains

A new feast day was instituted for all Christian Brothers’ communities in the world: the feast of the relocation of the remains of St. John Baptist de La Salle from Belgium to Rome. The Vatican granted the request of the superior general (Brother Junien-Victor) that each January 26 to be observed by the Brothers for this feast day. The transfer of the relics had occurred one year earlier (1937).
