Reflection by Live-inner Errol Aguas

The Brothers' Live-In Program was something I didn't expect to enjoy. It all started with just curiosity. Then, I wanted to know their daily routine. But as time passed, I became more interested in what they actually do. The five-day live-in program turned out to be a meaningful journey.

Reflection by Aspirant Lander Angelo Pua

The online learning session on prayer, facilitated by Br. Zennel Sy FSC, was participated by Postulants, Aspirants, and Contacts from different countries in the Lasallian East Asia District. The session delved into our understanding of prayer as a human and personal relationship with our God instead of it being just a ritual. 

The recently concluded Visayas-Mindanao Aspirants Conference 2025 (January 5-9) brought together Aspirants and Contacts of the De La Salle Brothers under the theme “Live Your Passion!”, inspiring us to embrace our unique gifts and find deeper meaning in our lives.

Through moments of reflection, connection, and action, VMAC 2025:

Reflection by Aspirant Stephen Carmelo Merecedio

Last January 30, 2025, Aspirants and Contacts of the De La Salle Brothers from Luzon set out on a three-day trip to St. Jaime Hilario School – De La Salle Bataan. Accompanied by the Brothers, we set out for Bagac equipped with nothing but packed clothes, materials for our activities, and most importantly, hearts that were ready but somehow unaware of what was to come.

New Look, Same Mission.

Brother John, also known as Celba John, was born on March 3rd 1886 in Ballick, Moyler, Co Laois, Ireland. Two of his relatives also joined the Order. They were called Brothers Finian and Alban Lynam. 

Brother John joined the Brothers at Castletown on the 17th March 1902 as a junior novice and received the holy habit on 29th July 1902. After the spiritual formation of the novitiate he began his further studies.

The Staff Induction Programme for new Lasallian educators was conducted in two sessions on 10 and 24 January 2025, with a total of 73 participants from the nine Lasallian institutions in Singapore. This one-day programme held at La Salle House aimed to familiarize new staff with the Lasallian mission, history, values, and pedagogy while fostering a sense of belonging within the wider Lasallian family.

The Lasallian Formation Day (LFD) 2025 was successfully held on 21 February 2025 at St. Joseph’s Institution, bringing together 670 staff members from seven Lasallian schools. This annual event provided an opportunity for Lasallian staff to deepen their understanding of the Lasallian mission and strengthen their vocation as teachers committed to faith, service, and community.

The Lasallian spirit shone brightly at the Commencement Mass held on Friday, 17 January 2025, at the Church St Alphonsus. The event brought together students, staff, and alumni from all Lasallian schools in Singapore to seek God’s blessings and the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This Mass celebrated the unity and commitment of the Lasallian community, as they pledged once more to "Fan Into Flames" the gifts God has bestowed upon them, using these gifts to grow in faith and serve as one united community.
