    ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE

    Who is the Patron Saint of educating children?

    St. John Baptist de la Salle, founder of the Institute of the Christian Schools, was born in Rheims, France on April 30, 1651. He studied theology at the Sorbonne and was ordained to the Priesthood on April 9, 1678. He was instrumental in opening two free elementary schools for the poor in Rheims. Each day, Saint John Baptist de la Salle visited the young teachers to encourage them, as “they were like abandoned sheep without a shepherd”, and he “assumed the responsibility of uniting them”.

    Life of poverty

    In 1683, St. John Baptist de la Salle resigned his canonry, and the following year distributed his fortune to the poor. He endured many trials and persecutions from certain ecclesiastical authorities. After many severe trials, de la Salle’s Institute for the Christian education of youth and the cultivation of faith began to flourish. God has given His blessing to the work of the Christian Brothers, as they are popularly known today.

    Educating youth one school at a time

    In 1705, he established the first boarding college in the educational world at Saint-Yon, where he inaugurated the system of modern secondary instruction. Later, he added a technical school to develop the mechanical skill of the students. Prior to the 17th century, there were no Sunday schools. St. John Baptist de la Salle founded the Christian Academy in 1699, for the adult parishioners of Saint Sulpice, which was the first of its kind in the history of education. The program included not only the ordinary branches taught in other Sunday schools, but added geometry, architecture and drawing. In 1684, he opened both a school in Rheims, France and a Christian academy for young men destined to enter the Brotherhood. These students were taught sciences, literature, and the principles of scientific pedagogy. Consequently, he is recognized as the father of modern pedagogy.

    Death

    He was one of the greatest thinkers and educational reformers of all time. De la Salle’s last years were spent in retirement at Saint-Yon, where he handed his institute to Brother Barthelemy, the first Superior General. St. John Baptist de la Salle died on Good Friday morning April 7, 1719, after having blessed the Brothers assembled at his bedside. His final words were: “In all things I adore the Will of God in my regard”. He was canonized by Pope Leo XIII on May 24, 1900.
