Educators and leaders from San Miguel Schools across the District of Eastern North America (DENA) will come together this January for the 2026 Miguel Convocation, a three-day gathering centered on shared mission, reflection, and collaboration in the Lasallian tradition.
Building on the spirit of previous San Miguel gatherings, the convocation offers participants a dedicated space to reconnect as an educational community while engaging more deeply with the roots and values that shape San Miguel schools. Through prayer, dialogue, and shared learning, the gathering reflects the Lasallian commitment to being together and by association.
The convocation will open on Thursday evening with a welcome session and communal prayer, followed by time for informal connection among participants. Friday’s program features a series of presentations and discussions focused on the foundations of the San Miguel schools and the human-centered values that guide their work. Sessions will be complemented by table conversations and job-alike discussions, allowing participants to reflect together and exchange insights from their own school communities.
On Saturday, the gathering continues with prayer and a final session exploring the Lasallian founding story as it relates specifically to the San Miguel mission. The convocation concludes with time for action planning, inviting participants to carry forward shared learnings into their local contexts.
Throughout the three days, moments of prayer led by representatives from different San Miguel schools anchor the program, reinforcing the shared spiritual and educational mission that unites the network. Social gatherings and shared meals further strengthen relationships among educators serving in diverse roles and geographic locations.
The 2026 Miguel Convocation affirms the ongoing commitment of San Miguel educators to collaboration, reflection, and faithful service to young people. As participants return to their schools, the gathering serves as a reminder that their work is sustained not in isolation, but through a wider community shaped by Lasallian values and shared purpose.
