Lasalle
Youth derives its name from St. John Baptist De La
Salle, the Founder of Christian Brothers. De La Salle
was a priest from a wealthy family of 17th century,
in France. He actively lived in response to God's
will. This led him to train teachers, to form a new
religious congregation, to renounce his wealth in
favour of the poor, and to start a system of schools,
which revolutionized the education of youth at that
time. Lasallian schools brought the poor and working
class together in the same classroom where the teachers
were seen as ministers of Jesus Christ who touched
the hearts and minds of the students.

| |
 |
In
this tradition, along with De La Salle's principles
of community, concern for others and strong guiding
faith, Lasallian schools educate young people today.
It is in response to this heritage that Lasallian
Youth exists, to encourage faith, service and community.
