Lasallian Approach
The Lasallian Heritage supports education that is truly transformative, both for the individual and the society around them, and is part of the essential nature of Saint Mary's College. The College's foundation is built on the life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle (1651 – 1719), founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and patron saint of teachers. The Lasallian Mission is shared by students, Christian Brothers, faculty and staff in 82 countries.
