Over the course of five days, this mission was marked by numerous meetings with the Brothers, lay staff and local educational communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon their arrival, the visitors were welcomed at the airport with songs, dances and a delegation of pupils and teachers, reflecting a strong sense of family. This fraternal atmosphere was evident throughout the stay, particularly during community times and the Eucharistic celebration at St Benedict\u2019s Parish, part of the local Church where the Lasallian educational mission is rooted and flourishing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sector of Beira has 14 Brothers working, in collaboration with lay professionals, in three complementary institutions: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Col\u00e9gio La Salle Beira,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> CEALS (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centro Educacional Assistencial La Salle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Escola Jo\u00e3o XXIII<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Together, these institutions offer a holistic education to young people and embody the Lasallian charism in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Col\u00e9gio La Salle Beira<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has established itself as a leading institution, contributing to financial stability and educational innovation. CEALS stands out for its work with the most vulnerable young people and for its growing social impact. For its part, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Escola Jo\u00e3o XXIII, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working closely with the diocese, provides a privileged setting for the implementation of the educational mission in partnership with the local Church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-124011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-132x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"132\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-132x300.jpg 132w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-200x456.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-400x911.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-450x1024.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-600x1367.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-674x1536.jpg 674w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-768x1749.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-800x1822.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-899x2048.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-scaled.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/www.lasalle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_20260317_112829_376-1200x2733.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 132px) 100vw, 132px\" \/>Discussions with the Brothers at various stages of the visit highlighted several significant points. The vitality of vocations is a strong sign of hope in an international context marked by their decline. The commitment of the pioneer Brothers and missionaries continues to inspire new generations, whilst emphasising the importance of ongoing formation adapted to current challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The meeting with the Archbishop also confirmed the recognition of the Lasallian contribution within the diocese and opened up prospects for the future development of the mission, particularly in areas where educational needs are most pressing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a developing and rapidly growing country, the Lasallian works in Beira are emerging as key agents of social transformation. Driven by the commitment of the Brothers and their partners, the educational mission continues to develop, with the conviction that education remains a fundamental lever for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The momentum observed in Beira bears witness to a vibrant mission, destined to consolidate and bear fruit in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-font-size:14px;\"><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">* Article written by Brother Anatole Diretenadji, General Councillor.
