Celebrating Saint John Baptist de La Salle’s birthday (1651 – 1719), Patron Saint of Teachers

On April 30, the Lasallian world celebrates the anniversary of the birth of Saint John Baptist de La Salle in 1651, in Reims, France. In the year leading up to the 300th anniversary of his birth, Pope Pius XII, on May 15, 1950, said that De La Salle not only founded the teaching order, the Brothers of the Christian Schools, for the education of youth, he also established Teacher Training Colleges. In recognition of these two initiatives, the Pope issued a proclamation that reads in part:

Hence, in order that teachers and student teachers may have a role model to imitate… Saint John Baptist de La Salle be marked… as heavenly patron of all teachers, men and women alike, clerical as well as lay, actually engaged in, or preparing for, the profession.

May we rejoice in this honor and may it inspire us today as we at La Salle University continue a legacy of quality education for the students entrusted to our care.

Join the La Salle community for a birthday celebration on the Quad with cake from 12:30-2 p.m on April 30.
