Dear Brothers,

Each of us, as Brother capitulants, had to leave our usual place of life and work in order to set out on the path that lead us to this 44th Chapter Assembly. Within a matter of hours, we will again be on the return journey to our countries in the Lasallian Regions of French-speaking Canada, USA/Toronto, RELAL, Europe, Africa, and PARC. [MORE]

Dear Brothers,

The 44th General Chapter is drawing to a close and we Capitulants are eager to share with you the results of the intense weeks we have lived in community here at the Center of the Institute.  The diversity of our origins, of our cultures, and of our situations, far from endangering our unity actually enriched it and invited us to listen attentively to one another.  We hope that you can have a similar experience, in your own particular circumstances, so that you may discover the richness of those who live and work with us and recognize the help they bring as we seek together what God wants of us today...

Dear members of the Lasallian family, we send you fraternal greetings from Rome!

The 44th General Chapter is coming to a close and we, the 111 Capitulants gathered here from all parts of the world and ready to return to the different places where we share the Lasallian mission with many of you, want you to know the important place you have had in our hearts, our thoughts, our decisions. Our greeting is also to all who, in the diversity of their religious affiliation and humanistic convictions, find in St. John Baptist de La Salle a light and support in the commitment for a world in solidarity and peace where all can find their most fundamental rights respected, for all are sons and daughters of the same Father.
