A new biographical documentary on Saint John Baptist de La Salle will be available for screenings globally in late January 2026. Produced by the Lasallian Region of North America, “The Life and Legacy of Saint John Baptist de La Salle” depicts the Founder as a living presence whose example and vision continue to inspire the Lasallian educational mission today. The film first premiered at the Huether Lasallian Conference in November 2025.
Districts, ministries and communities are encouraged to plan local screenings of the new documentary during Jan. 26-30, as the week holds special Lasallian significance with both the anniversary of the Bull of Approbation, which officially recognized the founding of the Institute, and the feast day of Saint Mutien-Marie Wiaux, FSC. The film could be shown during morning prayer, a school assembly or as part of a classroom reflection.
A viewing link will be available Jan. 19. The documentary will include French and Spanish subtitles.
