Lasallian educational institutions

Both the Congregation of Christian Brothers and the De La Salle Brothers run educational and other institutions with "Christian Brothers" in the title.
Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, founder of the De La Salle Brothers and Patron Saint of all teachers

Lasallian educational institutions[1] are educational institutions affiliated with the De La Salle Brothers, a Catholic religious teaching order founded by French priest Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, who was canonized in 1900 and proclaimed by Pope Pius XII as patron saint of all teachers of youth on May 15, 1950.[2] In regard to their educational activities, the Brothers have since 1680 also called themselves "Brothers of the Christian Schools", associated with the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools;[3] they are often referred to by themselves and others by the shorter term "Christian Brothers",[4][5] a name also applied to the unrelated Congregation of Christian Brothers or Irish Christian Brothers,[6][7] also providers of education, which commonly causes confusion.[8]

In 2021 the International Lasallian Mission Web site stated that the Lasallian order consists of about 3,000 Brothers, who help in running over 1,100 education centers in 80 countries with more than a million students, together with 90,000 teachers and lay associates.[9]

Short "one-line" prayers are recited in Lasallian educational institutions during the school day, Typical wordings of some are:[10]

Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.[note 1]
Live Jesus in our hearts! Forever!
Saint John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.[10]

The US-based La Salle International Foundation, which supports global educational and other networks of the De La Salle Brothers, say on their Web site that they sponsor educational projects and support schools in 80 countries; and that they give special attention to youth at risk, including those "educationally excluded, street children, orphans, victims of child abuse, drug addicts, disabled youth, individuals with mental illness, migrant and refugee youth, HIV+ and AIDS children, child victims of war, juvenile offenders, child laborers, victims of child trafficking, ethnic minorities, disadvantaged girls, and impoverished children".[12]

Since the 1980s increasing numbers of cases of sexual and physical abuse of children, covered up by authorities, in institutions of the Catholic Church[13] and others[14] have been reported. Cases of physical and sexual abuse of children in Lasallian educational institutions, and failure to investigate, report, and subsequently protect children have been investigated, admitted,[15][14] and apologised for.
