Regional Webinar Series

Three religious studies teachers from the San Francisco New Orleans District, with the direction of Brother George Van Grieken, FSC, have begun creating Lasallian themed supplements to the four-year high school religious studies curriculum based on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) framework. This webinar will introduce the beginning module for freshmen on the life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle and the vision for how Lasallian elements can be included in other courses.

This webinar is rooted in the Lasallian culture of encounter and one particular question posed at the Midwest District’s 2026 Mission Assembly — “Where, today, are the peripheries the Founder would recognize, and what does radical hospitality require of us when we go there?” 

Explore with Fe y Vida staff their story of venturing into the educational desert of Homestead, Florida, to provide a ministry of human and Christian education with youth the wider system has failed to reach in times of growing socio-economic, political, cultural and religious polarization. Like the Founder who was moved by the plight of the poor and working-class boys in the city of Rheims — “Adore Jesus in them” — Fe y Vida is building on the transformative power that that Lasallian educational mission has had on generations of immigrants to the U.S. 

Explore together a contemporary witness to the perennial truth: God meets us where we are. See how the story of One La Salle from Rheims to Homestead meets Lasallians and tests our unity, fidelity and commitment to association rather than isolated efforts by individual ministries.
