In preparation for the setting up and inauguration of the Lasallian Trust of Singapore (LST), a local expression of the Lasallian Education Mission Council, a gathering of stakeholders in the Lasallian family in Singapore gathered on Friday 9 November at SJI International for a formation session at which Br JJ Jimenez FSC, LEAD Visitor, presented on the forming of a one Lasallian identity where everyone works together and not in silos. Br. JJ also shared on the various LEAD outreach programs in the neighbouring countries and in South Sudan. The participants shared enthusiastically, first in groups and then later in the bigger assembly, about what the Lasallian mission means to them in the local context.
To further increase awareness of the LST, the next day, Saturday 10 November, a larger number comprising school leaders and members of governing bodies of different Lasallian entities in Singapore gathered to discuss the setting up of the LST which will be inaugurated on 15 May 2025. Mr Tan Tee How, the Chairman of the LST, presented the structure and governance of the LST while Mr Kenny Rebeira, Deputy Chair of the LST presented a program of Lasallian activities in 2025, together with a budget for the setting up of a secretariat for the LST as well as for its activities and continued efforts for fund raising.
On behalf of the Brothers, Bro Larry expressed heartfelt thanks to the many dedicated Lasallians who are committed to work together in the LST to further the Lasallian mission in Singapore, the district and beyond.
