Washington, DC – From November 3-9, the Church and Religious Orders are celebrating National Vocation Awareness Week. “An annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.” The Office of Brothers’ Vocations for the Lasallian Region of North America has released a new video showcasing the Christian Brothers and their vocation of education.
Along with the video, Vocation Coordinators for the District of Eastern North America have compiled resources to be used by Lasallian educators and promoters alike, not just this week, but throughout the year. Special thanks to Lew Clark of La Salle College High School and all vocation coordinators at DENA’s ministries for their work in creating communities of invitation to consider a religious vocation.
- The regional office for Brothers’ vocations has produced a web site with information and ideas on how to promote Vocation Awareness Week.
- Information and resources are also available at the National Religious Vocation Conference’s website.
- Many teachers are looking for prayers to use to begin class. Consider sending this link to faculty with prayers for vocations from the USCCB website.
Every woman hears God’s call uniquely.

Five Brothers from the US, including current SJC faculty member Bro. Paul Avvento and former SJC principal Bro. Michael Andrejko, joined a group of 265 Young Lasallians this summer on the Footsteps of the Founder pilgrimage through France, a journey that took them to pivotal places in the life of St. John Baptist de La Salle. #livinglasallian #freresinfrance #300LaSalle
Sadly our #Footsteps #Pilgrimage has ended but our time together as #Brothers continues! #freresinfrance #300LaSalle #traslashuellasdeLaSalle
Preparing for our final Liturgy at San Sulpice. A great conclusion to an amazing Pilgrimage. I wish it could last another week! #freresinfrance #300LaSalle #Footsteps #BeBrother #traslashuellasdeLaSalle #YoungLasallians #SalleJoven

After a 3km hike we arrived in Parmenie where the Founder served as chaplain and retreat director. It is here that the vows were modeled for us as he returned to Paris after being ordered by the other brothers. #Footsteps #freresinfrance #300LaSalle #BeBrother
A quick lunch break for our group before heading to the first home of #LaSalle and the museum. #FreresInFrance #Brothers #300lasalle #Footsteps #traslashuellasdeLaSalle
A great end to our day in Parmenie - Mass overlooking the Alps. #FreresInFrance #Brothers #300lasalle #Footsteps
Mass at Reims Cathedral where #LaSalle served as Canon from an early age. He was ordained next door. A holy place for all #Catholics and the site of French royal crownings at the urging of St. Joan of Arc.

Today's first stop is #SanSulpice where the Founder first went for Seminary. The time there has a heavy influence on his Spirituality and our Charism. #FreresInFrance #Brothers #300lasalle #Footsteps #traslashuellasdeLaSalle #YoungLasallians #SalleJoves https://t.co/i7XNnazhh1
The Parish of #LaSalle was built in 1910 and includes stained glass windows depicting his #Baptism #Communion #FirstMass #Death and #Heaven along with beautiful statues and art. #FreresInFrance #Brothers #300lasalle #Footsteps #traslashuellasdeLaSalle #YoungLasallians #SalleJoves https://t.co/Rhap75sgZ6
Our young Brothers are following the footsteps of the Founder! Follow along with them as they take over our Instagram, and send prayer requests to them as they visit where the #Lasallian mission began in France...link in our bio. #FreresInFrance #DENABrothersTakeOver #Pilgrimage #WeAreLaSalle
[…] Riverdale, NY – Br. Beto and Br. Ed Shields invited five ambassadors from Manhattan College and three Seton Partner Volunteers to the CBC Community for Mass, dinner, and conversation. Ambassadors at Manhattan College are students who have graduated from Lasallian schools and are engaged in living out faith, service, and community upon their arrival at Manhattan. Seton Partners volunteer a year or more as teachers in ministries/programs in the South Bronx. Conversation took place and Br. Beto shared about his path to becoming a Brother. The group was joined by Br. Vincent Reese. For more from the National Vocation Awareness Week, click here for new video and resources. […]
