De La Salle Week is a week-long event for Saint Mary’s students, Christian Brothers, faculty, and staff to increase awareness, deepen understanding, and celebrate the life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle (1651 – 1719), Founder of the Christian Brothers and our Lasallian Heritage and Mission. This annual program includes opportunities for community building, education, service, celebration, and recognition. Organized by the Mission & Ministry Center, the Office of Mission, and a wide coalition of programs, departments, and student leaders, De La Salle Week celebrates a Lasallian identity that spans over 350 years and currently includes 1,000,000 students, 75,000 men and women, and 6,000 Christian Brothers in 82 countries. Come join us as we proudly celebrate our Lasallian Heritage and Mission!
