Animation and Government

« We are one Lasallian Family, with diverse vocations; leaven for a more fraternal world, sent forth to encounter God in those who are poor, and to promote justice ». 46th General Chapter

The new governance, leadership and animation structure of the Institute allows us to be more agile and dynamic to respond to the needs of today’s world and the new realities that are emerging.

In it, the Brother Visitor and the District animation teams are placed in the first line of leadership and support to the communities and to the works carried out by the Lasallian Educational Mission.

Secondly, the five Regions of the Institute (PARC, RELAF, RELAL, RELAN and RELEM), made up of the Districts that work in synergy, converge in fraternal communion and respond to the needs that correspond to their area of ​​governance.

Then, there are the Commissions, which assume the commitments and lines of action of the General Chapter and of the International Assembly of the Lasallian Educational Mission (AIMEL). In base of the realities, they propose recommendations to the Councils of the Institute. There are seven commissions: Association Commission, Education Commission, Evangelization Commission, Formation Commission, Justice and Peace Commission, Youth Commission and Consecrated Life Commission. Each one of them has a president and two members.

Likewise, to achieve our dreams and assume global challenges and responsibilities, the new structure has Offices that manage collaborative synergies at the service of the Institute. There are nine Offices: Lasallian Heritage and Research Office, Information and Communication Office, Consortium Istituto Convitto Jesus Magister (ICJM) Office, Vocations and Volunteering Office, Solidarity and Development Office, Professional Development Office, Office of the Lasallian Charismatic Family and Safeguarding and Integrity Office.

In the same way, in his service of animation, leadership and government, the Superior General of the Brothers relies and works closely with the three Councils of the Institute: the General Council, the International Economic Council and the International Council for Lasallian Association and the Educational Mission (CIAMEL).

Finally, the Plenary Assembly chaired by the Superior General of the Brothers, constitutes a fraternal organism with a Lasallian synodal perspective, to review, reinforce and reach a consensus on the commitments of the General Chapter and the AIMEL. The Plenary Assembly is made up of the Brother Visitors, the Councils of the Institute, the Presidents of the Commissions, the Directors of the Offices, those who lead General and Administrative Services, and a representative of the Permanent Committee of Young Brothers.
