THE EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL: OUR ROLE IN LASALLIAN EDUCATION
Date: Tuesday, September 12 at 6:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Brother Mark Engelmeyer, FSC, Religion Teacher, Central Catholic High School, Pittsburgh, PA
With churches having empty pews during Mass, many Catholics not having an understanding of the Eucharist, and more and more young people disaffiliating from the Church, the United States Bishops have called for a three-year Eucharistic Revival. As one of the largest Catholic high school networks in the United States, we as Lasallians have a great opportunity to play a pivotal role in helping the young entrusted to our care rediscover and grow in their love of Our Lord in the Eucharist.
Based in the teachings of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, this session will help educators effectively incorporate the Eucharistic Revival into their schools.

Saint Benildus Romançon, FSC
2023-08-10
Pierre Romançon was born June 14, 1805, in Thuret, France. He was so far ahead of his classmates that when he was only 14 years old the Brothers engaged him as a substitute teacher. From 1821 to 1841 he taught in elementary schools before being appointed as director of a new school in southern France in 1841. He served in that school for the next 20 years, educating the boys of the village, many of whom had never been to school. The school became a center of social and intellectual life of the village. Saint Benilde died Aug. 13, 1862.

Brother Raphaël Louis Rafiringa, FSC
2023-05-17
Br. Raphaël Louis Rafiringa was born in Tananarive (Madagascar) on May 1, 1856.
His indefatigable missionary effort suffered as a result of two wars, one in 1883 and the other in 1895. All the missionaries having been chased from the island, Brother Raphaël confronted this difficult situation with a superhuman courage that was crowned with success. As a sign of their recognition of this, the French authorities decorated him with the Madagascan gold medal of merit. As a result of his remarkable literary effort, he was named a member of the Madagascan Academy. He died at Fianarantsoa on May 19, 1919.
On Oct. 18, 1979, the Brothers of this great island requested of Pope John Paul II the introduction of the Cause of the Servant of God.

Commemoration of the Transfer of the Relics of Saint John Baptist de La Salle
2023-01-26
John Baptist de La Salle was buried in the chapel of St. Suzanne on Holy Saturday, April 8, 1719. On July 6, 1734, his body was transferred to a chapel at Saint Yon. The tomb was vandalized during the French Revolution but the relics were not. In 1841, the superiors received approval to have the relics moved to the Generalate.

After the Brothers were expelled from France in 1904, the relics were taken from Rouen to Lembecq-lez-Hal in Belgium. In 1937 they were transported to Rome where they arrived on January 26, the anniversary of the promulgation in 1725 of the Bull of Approbation of the Institute. The relics are now in the church of Saint John Baptist de La Salle at the Generalate in Rome.
