Lasallian Charismatic Family

The Lasallian Charismatic Family includes all those spiritual realities that recognise themselves in the original charism received from Saint John Baptist de La Salle for the benefit of the People of God, who wish to perpetuate it and bring it to life as a sign of renewal, aware that a charism is not static: it is a living heritage! Each person is called, with creative and dynamic fidelity, to continually reinterpret it and live it in ever new ways.
