The laity is called to participate actively in the entire life of the church; not only are they to animate the world with the spirit of Christianity, they are to be witnesses to Christ in all circumstances and at the very heart of the human community."

From Lasalle.org: Formation for the Lasallian Mission

2.2 Saint John Baptist de La Salle and the first Brothers renewed the school of their time in order to put it within reach of the poor and to offer it to everyone as a sign of the Kingdom and as a means of salvation. Today, the Lasallian mission is continually inculturated in each local situation in order to respond with creative fidelity to particular urgent needs and to be the Good News always and everywhere. The Lasallian mission must constantly be re- discovered.

The 10 principles upon which Lasallian Formation for the Mission are based:

1. Formation is for Mission
2. Formation is transformative.
3. Formation promotes Association for Mission
