 BUSTIN A RHYME IN HONOR OF A SAINT: "He was a really dedicated man. He wanted to help the young and the poor and he didn't let anyone stop him. He was someone who had a dream and saw it through." So says Saint Mary’s College of California senior Jason Harris, speaking of Saint John Baptist de la Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
Jason and two other students at SMC Moraga have livened up the college’s “Founder’s Week” with the creation and posting of their original music video telling the Founder’s story. For the story and video, go to www.stmarys-ca.edu , look under SPOTLIGHT, and click on the headline “De La Salle Meets De La Soul: Rap for the Founder.”
De La Salle Week (April 22 – 29, 2007) is annual event raises awareness of our Lasallian Tradition at Saint Mary's College and includes opportunities for community building, education, celebration, and recognition through many events and programs offered throughout the Week. Saint John Baptist de La Salle was born on April 30, 1651, died on April 7, 1719, and was named Patron Saint of Teachers on May 15, 1950.
