Brother George Van Grieken, FSC, Ph.D., has written a new book, titled “Holy Audacity: A Short History of the Lasallian Charism and Mission.” The text offers a concise and accessible history of the Lasallian educational movement from its origins under Saint John Baptist de La Salle in 17th-century France to its global expressions today.
The book brings to life key events, leaders and the enduring spirit of faith, zeal and communal audacity that inspired generations of educators. “Holy Audacity” shows how a bold commitment to educating the poor, grounded in trust in God’s providence, continues to animate Catholic education today.
Lasallians are invited to the book launch party, which includes a book discussion followed by lunch, on Friday, March 20, at Mont La Salle in Napa, California. “Holy Audacity” will be available for purchase on Amazon at a later date.
RSVP here for the book launch by Friday, March 6, to secure your place. Please contact Elizabeth Jodice at ejodice@cbconf.org with any questions.
