Dear Lasallians,

On October 16th, we concluded our 3rd annual Brother Luke Salm, FSC, Religious Workshop.

Over 30 Lasallian religious educators and campus ministers converged on Christian Brothers Center in Narragansett for this three day conference.

Professor Hosffman Ospino of Boston College helped our Lasallian educators see the growing multicultural reality in our Church and our schools, and how we can open the hearts and minds of students to the world around them.

Mr. Ken Coughlin of Bishop Kelley High School and Mrs. Maryann Donohue-Lynch led breakout sessions more specific to the needs of participants, in the Bishops’ religious framework, and in campus ministry respectively.

Br. Frederick Mueller, FSC, wrapped up the workshop, spring-boarding off Professor Ospino’s teaching, placing all that was learned into our Lasallian heritage, charism, and pedagogy.

The serene, coastal Rhode Island surroundings allowed for reflection and Lasallian socializing.

Many thanks to our participants for taking time out of their schedules to expand their professional skills, and to administrators at each of our ministries for investing in their staff members.

May you all continue to expand your knowledge and professional skills, as well as your faith and zeal for this educational mission.

Sincerely,

Alan Weyland
Director of Mission and Ministry

La Salle Academy

La Salle Academy had its beginnings in 1871 as an elementary school for boys in downtown Providence. The school served the boys of the Cathedral and Saint John parishes and was staffed by a diocesan priest, a layman, and three De La Salle Christian Brothers. The school became known as the “Brothers’ School” and was renamed La Salle Academy when its status was changed from an elementary school to an academy.

The early years were ones of happy growth and steady expansion.
