“Great things are possible: Lasallian Association for the Future”. This was the theme of the formation session for Lasallians from around the world, which took place in Rome from October the 13th<\/sup> to the 26th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Institute should reaffirm its global commitment to Association for the Educational Service of the Poor in line with the spirit of Circular 461 \u201cAssociated for the Lasallian mission… an Act of Hope\u201d. It should evaluate, support and increase the efforts being made in this area in the different geographic sectors of the Institute.\u201d<\/em><\/p> Proposition 5: Circular 469, November de 2014,
Documents of the 45th General Chapter. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The session\nwas organised in response to the global commitment to Association we are making\nas Brothers and lay colleagues worldwide and in order to strengthen our Lasallian\nidentity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContinue to actively promote the growth of Association in the various Lasallian groups and religious families, with the aim of fostering at the same time joint collaboration and a deepening of Lasallian identity.\u201d<\/em><\/p> Circular 470, p. 30, March 2015
Towards the Year 2021: Living together the Joy of our Mission. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There were\nfifty-five of us participating, from thirty-two different countries representing\nalmost all the Districts of the Institute, and we included thirty-two lay\ncolleagues (men and women) and twent-three Brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goals we\nset ourselves during the session included the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The\nparticipants will develop the ability to initiate in their Districts actions to\npromote Association by assessing the needs of the District and analysing the\nexisting procedures and structures for Association.
\n2. The participants will create a \u201ctool kit\u201d, containing possible ways for\ntaking Association forward.
\n3. The participants will work together to create an Identity card of the Lasallian\nfamily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that was how we occupied our time. The atmosphere of fraternal listening was wonderful as we all shared the stories of our vocations and concerns and our “dreams” relating to the topic of building Association together. There were times for plenary sessions and for work in smaller language groups and times for relaxation with singing and dancing. The times for prayer were occasions for deepening our links with one another, and there were many occasions of positive experience which constantly increased our awareness of the shared future that we are building together as brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have\ndifferent backgrounds and we are inspred by different documents, but it is with\ncreative fidelity that we are producing new dreams and structures to ensure the\nvitality of our educational mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All our Districts\nnow face the same challenge of giving dynamism to Association, and all those\nwho participated in the session now feel more motivated to contribute to\ninitiatives and plans that will produce continuous steady growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We in the\nSecretariat for Association will support all those intitiatives as much as we\ncan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our thanks\ngo to the participants for giving up their time and devoting their best\nenergies and commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us inspire\nLasallians of all Districts to continue to make progress in Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-Secretary for Lasallian Association<\/p>\n\n\n\n
