Message from...the Director of Communications and Public Relations
If you are reading this, welcome to fscdena.org, one of this office’s many communication tools and activities. It is my true belief that life is about connections. Whether a common interest or common faith, people strive to be connected. Exchange of ideas and information, philosophy and conviction, are so vitally important, especially to the Brothers of the Christian Schools. As the Communications Department for the District of Eastern North America, every tool and technology will be used to bring the Christian Brothers and their Lasallian partners closer together than ever before, creating a more exciting and spiritual community, despite vast geographic distance. It is with faith and zeal that no obstacle is too big, to bring so many, so close, in a common goal of dedication and ministry to others. I encourage you to visit this site often, as we are always updating information, and posting new events. Join our Community Bulletin Boards and become more involved with our Brothers and partners, and share your Lasallian inspired ideas and stories. Want to be on our mailing list? Drop me a line at derita@fscdena.org to sign up, or just share your thoughts and comments with me! I’m always looking for ways to improve the flow of information and the way we make connections.
