LEAD Brother Visitor Donates His Plasma

PHILIPPINES - We would like to thank Br. Armin Luistro FSC for visiting our Blood Bank yesterday to donate his plasma.

When asked for his message to other potential plasma donors, Br. Armin remarked, "When I learned about the possibility of donating plasma, I said, 'If I recover, I think the least I could do to thank the doctors and the frontliners is to donate my plasma'. I think it would also be a good way of taking care of the patients who come to our hospital here in DLSUMC.”

Discerners’ Orientation

PHILIPPINES - On 29 August 2020, the Discerners gathered online to formally begin their discernment journey with the De La Salle Brothers this year.
