Ireland-Lasallian Exhibition: Who is St. John Baptist de La Salle?

IRELAND, GREAT BRITAIN & MALTA

Over a hundred students from eight De La Salle Schools in Ireland contributed to this religious art exhibition which was hosted in the Pastoral Centre, Castletown, Co Laois on 19 April.

The brainchild of Mr Tom O’Neill of De La Salle College Waterford, the exhibition took the form of a competition, under the title, WHO IS ST JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE?

Entries were received from individual students, from groups and from schools and the choice of medium was left to the competitors themselves. The range of media included hand-written tracts, computer-generated wallcharts, poster-size sketches, cartoons, power-point materials, wood, clay, and even digital exhibits.

Among individual artists were Ashraf Ali from Waterford with his unique ‘app’ and Donnacha Hughes from Dundalk with his musical composition.  All participants received medals and certificates from the Auxiliary Visitor, Br Damien Kellegher. St Gerald’s, Castlebar was declared the overall winner.

Mr O’Neill, who chairs the De La Salle Mission in Ireland, hopes to conduct similar competitions in the years ahead.

El libro está disponible en su página web (http://edukyminiempresa.wix.com/edukyja), creada también por los propios alumnos, y más adelante se podrá adquirir en diferentes establecimientos de la ciudad de Reus y en la propia escuela. La edición de este libro se ha hecho en catalán y castellano.

Los alumnos que forman parte de la miniempresa son Paula Antona, Santi Arroyave, Alba Duarte, José Ma Marsal, Valeria López, Ángel Piera y Maria Serra, todos ellos estudiantes de 1º de Bachillerato y tutorizados por Raquel Casas y Pili Salvadó, profesoras de Economía de la empresa.

El Programa Miniempresas de la Fundación Junior Achievement va dirigido a alumnos de Bachillerato y Formación Profesional. Cada miniempresa elige a su junta directiva, seleccionan un producto / servicio a comercializar, encaran las tareas de producción trabajando en equipo, desarrollan una estrategia de marketing y realizan la venta del producto. De esta manera, se brinda a los estudiantes una experiencia práctica de la toma de decisiones empresariales a través de la organización y creación de una miniempresa. A posteriori, los alumnos deciden a qué acción solidaria destinar parte de los beneficios empresariales.

Pour mettre en acte leur engagement lasallien et social suite à la quinzaine lasallienne, 70 élèves du Collège du Sacré-Cœur ont rendu visite aux enfants réfugiés syriens du Centre Fratelli où ils ont joué, chanté, mangé, dansé et partagé ensemble des moments inoubliables. Ils ont formé aussi une chaîne de paix avec des silhouettes d’enfants coloriés durant la journée. Avant de quitter, les élèves du Collège Sacré-Cœur ont offert au Centre Fratelli des jeux de société qu’ils ont achetés avec l’argent récolté entre eux. Les deux équipes éducatives ont témoigné d’une grande coopération ce qui a contribué à la réussite des activités prévues.

The Conference was hosted by the Brother Jean-Paul Aleth (Visitor) and the District of France and was presided over byBrother Aidan Kilty, the General Councillor with responsibility for RELEM. 23 Visitors, Auxiliary Visitors and Delegates attended the Conference from the 8 Districts and Delegation of the Region of RELEM.

The opening days of the Conference were devoted to a reflection on the future restructuring of the Region in the context of the changing demography of the Districts and the need to ensure the sustainability of the Lasallian mission in the Region into the future. This part of the Conference was facilitated by Brother André-Pierre, former Auxiliary Visitor of France, and after much reflection and discussion the Conference put in place the mechanics for a Regional MEL Council with a key responsibility fo organising the first Regional MEL Assembly. The Conference also decided to change the composition of the Regional Council by reconstituting it as the Council of the Titular Visitors with the aim of collaborating and reflecting on crucial Regional issues with the General Councillor for the Region.

Following the opening days of reflection, the Conference then addressed its normal business such as attending to the financing of the Regional structures, including the Regional Novitiate in Madrid, and receiving the reports of the various groups or councils working on behalf of the Region – such as MEL, Assedil, NGOs, Universities, the Administrative Council of the Novitiate, and the Young Lasallian Council. The French representative on the RELEM Young Lasallian Council, Bérengère Pichelin, presented this latter report. The financial challenges of the international Institute were presented to the Conference through a video link by the Institute Bursar, Brother Ambrose Payne. The Conference also had the opportunity to discuss future plans for the Lasallian centre in Parmenie and through a presentation entitled “Project Adrian Nyel” the Conference explored the Regional response to the 45 th General Chapter’s propositions with regard to the creation of international communities for vocational discernment in areas of social deprivation. One of the final sessions of the Conference explored the responses of the international Institute and the different Districts of RELEM to the on-going migratory and refugee problems affecting many parts of the Region particularly in the Middle East.

Thanks to the hospitality of the District of France, the participants of the Conference enjoyed a recreational afternoon and evening taking in some of the sights of Paris on a cruise along the River Seine followed by a celebratory meal hosted by a Parisian Lasallian family.
