Br. Nicolas Capelle, FSC, the Secretary for the Educational Mission for the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, toured a few sites in the Baltimore District in mid-October. He first visited St. John’s College High School and the new San Miguel middle school division of St. John’s. A few days later he toured the San Miguel School in Camden, NJ and Br. Rousseau Academy, a component of the St. Gabriel’s System.
The primary purpose of his visit was to become better acquainted with the education mission in the United States/Toronto Region, especially with regards to new initiatives. Br. Nicolas is particularly interested in the success of the San Miguel schools and other schools or agencies in direct service of the poor. (For more information about the San Miguel Schools, check out this website: miguel-schools.org.) Br. Nicolas also visited schools and Brothers communities in the Long-Island New England, New York and Midwest Districts. He finished his tour by attending the Lasallian Leadership Institute’s fall weekend session in the Midwest.
In the photos, Br. Nicolas creates an instant rapport with the 8th-grade students from The San Miguel in Camden. They are facinated by Br. Nicolas, a French Brother who speaks fluent Spanish and resides in Rome.
