1651 1719 Baptiste Benefactor Chretiens Churchman Educator Founder Freres Rules Salle Shown
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, a renowned French churchman, educator, and benefactor, who lived from 1651 to 1719. La Salle is best known for his founding of the Frères Chretiens, or Christian Brothers, a religious congregation dedicated to the education of the poor. In this image, La Salle is shown holding the rules of the order, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to their mission. Born in Reims, France, La Salle initially pursued a career in the priesthood before feeling called to dedicate his life to the education of the underprivileged. He opened the first school for boys in Rouen in 1680, and over the next several decades, he established numerous schools throughout France. La Salle's innovative educational methods emphasized the importance of practical skills, hands-on learning, and personalized instruction. He believed that every child deserved a quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background. This revolutionary approach to education laid the groundwork for the modern educational system. The Frères Chretiens, under La Salle's guidance, continued to expand their educational efforts beyond France, establishing schools in Canada, the United States, and other parts of the world. Today, the Christian Brothers continue to carry on La Salle's legacy, serving over 800,000 students in 80 countries. This evocative print serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle on the world of education and the countless lives he touched through his tireless dedication to the cause.
