Indeed, no distance is too far for when we let our zeal and creativity soar. This has been proven when the Pacific Asia Regional Conference (PARC) Young Brothers reimagined the sense of community as they had its virtual community gathering last January 23, 2021 using Zoom. The activity, entitled “Brothers’ Time Out,” was joined by more than thirty-five (35) Young Brothers from all over the Pacific Asia.

“We have to open new avenues where our Lasallian partners can start the inspiration that they already have in their minds and in their hearts.” These were Br. Armin Luistro FSC’s words of encouragement and challenge for the participants of the third LEAD Online Community (LOC) Gathering held last 2021 January 22nd.

A total of 90 new members of the staff of our five Lasallian schools gathered on different days in January 2021 for the Lasallian Staff Induction.The session was facilitated by Bros Antonio Cubillas, Collin Wee, Kino Escolano and Nicholas Seet. It comprised listening to the presentations on the Founder and the Lasallian ethos and included sharings by the participants. One common questionraised was the difference between a Lasallian and a non-Lasallian institution. Another was that they were surprised with the internationality of the Lasallian family.

With faith in the resurrection, the Lasallian East Asia District (LEAD) announces the passing of Br. Gregory Thomas Lim FSC on the afternoon of 18 January 2021 at Singapore. He was 96 years old and a De La Salle Brother for 77 years.
