From October 15th to the 17th faculty members from four schools in the district (Calvert Hall College, La Salle College High School, St. Frances Academy, and West Philadelphia Catholic High School) gathered at the bucolic setting of the Christian Brothers Spiritual Center in Adamstown, Maryland for the 15th Lasallian Educator Workshop.
This intimate group of seven participants was inspired by several presentations from Br. Jeffrey Calligan, FSC, the U.S./Toronto Region’s Director of Religious Life Studies. Tapping into the research on De La Salle and the beginning of the Institute and into the richness of the Conduct of Schools, Br. Jeff linked the original intentions of the mission to today’s mission of a human and Christian education for the young, especially the poor.
The participants were treated to a visual feast of Power Point presentations and were charged with reflecting on the teacher as a “life-giving force,” as an older brother or sister to the students, and as agents of God bringing our students closer to completeness. The experience was, naturally, enhanced by shared prayer and meals, and time for much-needed relaxation and enjoyable socials.
