During Vocation Awareness Week, Br. Bob Schaefer and Br. Pat Duffy were invited by the Lasallian Alumni Association in Miami to come to the Archdiocese to make presentations on the Brothers’ vocation. (In the photo above, Br. Bob, on the right, and Br. Pat, on the left, pose with Bishop Roman, auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Miami, at the Vocation Congress.) The two Baltimore District Brothers were joined in Miami by Br. Emiliano Diez, vocation director for the District of the Antillas, which is centered in the Dominican Republic and includes Puerto Rico and Cuba. The three Brothers participated in a variety of activities: the vocation congress with the Archdiocese of Miami, visits to youth and young adult groups in parishes, presentations at Belen Jesuit Preparatory and two days at Centro Educativo De La Salle. Centro Educativo De La Salle is an after-school tutoring center located in the South Dade Labor Camp and serves the children of migrant workers, most of whom are from Mexico. The center is sponsored and operated by lay men who are alums of the Brothers schools in Cuba and are committed to the Lasallian charism of educational service to the poor.”
