Jean-Baptiste de la Salle
Jean-Baptiste de la Salle
Jean-Baptiste de La Salle was born in Rheims, France on 30 April 1651. He was 29 years old when he realized that the educational system of his day was inadequate to meet the needs of the poor children of seventeenth-century France. To provide a Christian and human education, De La Salle founded a religious community of men, the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Fratres Scholarum Christianarum), dedicated to the instruction of youth, especially the poor. De La Salle died on Good Friday, 7 April 1719. Pope Pius XII canonized him a saint of the Catholic Church in 1900, and he was declared the "Universal Patron of All Teachers" in 1950. The feast of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle is celebrated on 15 May by the De La Salle Brothers worldwide.
