De La Salle Brothers

Founded by St John Baptist de La Salle, the Mission of the De La Salle Brothers is to provide a human and Christian education to the young, especially the poor, according to the ministry which Christ has entrusted to it.

The Lasallian Family in the District of Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Papua New Guinea is spread across four countries and is engaged in the Lasallian educational mission through primary and secondary schools, teacher’s colleges, welfare works, youth ministry, Lasallian Foundation, formation for mission, Signum Fidei, Lasallian Family (PNG), Young Lasallians and Lasallian Volunteers.

A priority in the District is to promote the Brothers’ vocation and other Lasallian vocations. There is an active vocations’ ministry program in each country with candidates commencing their formation locally and then in the international context.
